The purpose of this course is to introduce law students to the principles of Catholic social thought and to offer the student the opportunity to examine the impact which these principles might have on the analysis of modern legal problems pertaining to clients who follow these and other faith-based traditions. Although this course will be primarily grounded in the Roman Catholic tradition, students of differing backgrounds and interests will be able to pursue reflection within other faith traditions. The course will be comprised of seven units which follow the seven themes that the National Conference for Catholic Bishops/United States Catholic Conference have identified as the principle themes of Catholic social thought: (1) dignity of the human person, (2) call to family, community and participation, (3) rights and responsibilities, (4) option for the poor and vulnerable, (5) dignity of work and the rights of workers, (6) solidarity and (7) care for God¿s creation. Reading materials will be composed of (a) selections from church statements on social responsibility and from related philosophical materials, (b) problem sets based on issues presented in the contemporary United States, and (c) appropriate case law and statutory supplements.
