Spring 2008 - Philosophy of Law
A class that would probably be very interesting to Pre-Law students:
PHI238, Philosophy of Law, is an introduction to legal thought and the kinds of theories that lie behind many legal subjects covered in law school. Topics to be addressed include: the relation of law to morality, the nature of judicial interpretation, the justifications for legal authority, and the theoretical underpinnings of contract law, tort law, constitutional law, and criminal law. The class fulfills requirements in the legal studies section of the interdisciplinary social sciences program as well as in the philosophy major and minors in general philosophy or philosophy of law.
