will provide an avenue for a broad critique of the way legal and political intuitions operate including the way law schools educate and judges actually decide cases. Because the nature of the course is theoretical in its focus ( there is no specific set of accepted doctrine to provide a foundation for this course), a paper will be required rather than an exam. It is hoped that by that by following this route the student will gain the opportunity to do some serious critical and creative thinking about issues that are the cutting edge of the law. The course may be taken for either course or seminar credit. 2. 000 Credit Hours 2. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Business, Master of Laws, Law Schedule Types: Lecture Chicago- Kent College of Law College Law Department
