Description
Law may be described as a discipline in the sense of a set of rules. This topics course will treat law as such a set of rules, as a practice and a field of study, but not as a discipline in a broader, academic sense. Rather each iteration of this course will experiment with and apply methodologies from one or more disciplines distinct from the law—economics, philology, philosophy, literary analysis and semiotics, sociology, history — to the study, analysis and critique of law and its institutions. In addition to interdisciplinary scholarship, readings will include case law and legislation or other primary legal sources. May be repeated for credit. Courses offered under the 70400 rubric include: Contracts and Commitments; Labor in Sociology of Law; Law and Interpretation; Law and the Arts; Law as Religion, Religion as Law; Law, Literature and Theory; Legal History and Legal Precedent; Philosophical Concepts in Torts and Criminal Law; Property and New Institutional Economics.
