Focus 222 - SEMINAR IN LAW & SOCIETY

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

The Law and Society FOCUS is designed to expose students to some contemporary legal debates in American society and to expand their understanding of those issues as they are adjudicated in our legal system. We explore these current topics within the basic liberal arts tradition, which emphasizes the view that the legal system is a social instrument for seeking a "just society." The seminar, accordingly, is an introduction to legal controversies as questions of public policies that have philosophical, social, political, and economic implications, as well as legal ones. Prerequisite: admission to the Law and Society FOCUS plan.
