    The course is intended to be an introduction to Latin prose composition. Since the exercises in our text are based on readings from original Latin sources, skills in reading will be improved as we practice writing. The exercises will teach us how to manipulate the language, using grammatical rules we have already learned in earlier courses. Some work with recitation and oral composition will be done, so that by the end of the semester, we should also have increased our ability to communicate orally in Latin. Prerequisite:    Latin 3002 (0102)

    Learn about the experience of African Americans through the lens of the U.S. legal system. U.S. law, which first defined African Americans as less than human, eventually declared discrimination illegal, and remains both an expression and an instrument of change at the intersection of race and equality. As you study this evolution, you will reflect on relevant current events, and explore your own responses to the kind of everyday encounters that continually arise in our pluralistic society. Can race be used as a factor in hiring, in college admissions? Is race a factor for you in dating, marriage, adoption? We explore issues like these on both broad social and personal dimensions.

    Note: This course fulfills the Race & Diversity (GD) requirement for students under GenEd and Studies in Race (RS) for students under Core.

    Students who have already successfully completed LAW SBA 0903 or LAW SBA 1002 (R050) cannot earn credit for this course.

    An intruder rushes into class, hits the professor in the face with a pie, and runs out. You are asked to provide a description of the assailant--and now you realize this was a demonstration of the faultiness of human memory in making eyewitness identification. Develop your understanding of the historical, socio-political and ethical context of the U.S. legal system as you follow the misadventures of a fictional family that gets caught up in various legal problems. Current events inform every assignment; you might analyze, for example, the case against McDonalds brought on behalf of obese children, and then research legislation known as the “Cheeseburger Bill,” prohibiting such lawsuits. An exciting, multimedia environment makes learning vivid.

    Note: This course fulfills the U.S. Society (GU) requirement for students under GenEd and American Culture (AC) for students under Core.

    Students who have already successfully completed LAW SBA 0956 or LAW SBA 1001 (C001) cannot earn credit for this course.
