Counts towards: CJLS This course examines the relationship between formal law and other social institutions. It begins with an examination of legal theory and theories of law creation.

No matter how it is defined, law is not simply an objective system of dos and don'ts; rather, it is something that is shaped by history, social conditions, and particular groups in society.
