LAWS 1002 ‑ Orientation to Law

LAWS 1002
CREDIT HOURS: 1

Course Description:

The objective of the course is to orient students to the study of law by introducing them to four fundamental perspectives in the law: the comparative, the historical, the philosophical and the professional. Within each perspective several Faculty members will lecture, both to convey information deemed essential and to give a sense of the variety and contingency within each perspective. Mandatory readings will be presented in advance by each faculty speaker.

Prerequisite(s): None
Co-requisite(s): None
Assessment Method: Assessment Method: Pass/fail oral exam conducted by a faculty member. All students must attend the oral OTL exams as scheduled. If the oral exam is unsatisfactory the student will be re-examined by a three-person panel. Any student who, without permission from the Studies Committee, does not attend the initial oral exam will not have recourse to the three-person panel and will fail the course.
Restrictions: This course is restricted to JD students or JD Combined Degree students.
