Course Titles and/or Descriptions
Course availability varies.
- 847. Civil Trial Practice: Gender Discrimination—2 hours. Designed to build on the litigation techniques and skills first encountered in the Trial Techniques Program. Using a simulated case file in a gender discrimination case, the class will help develop the skills, strategies, and tactics necessary to be effective courtroom advocates. The course will employ lecture, demonstrations, movie, and videotape simulations as well as regular participation by the students and constructive criticism and helpful hints from the course instructors, who are all highly experienced litigators. Courtroom technology and visual aids will also be explored. The course will conclude with student teams conducting a trial in a real courtroom setting, which is now planned for Saturday, November 13, where participation is mandatory.
- 681. Gender and Law—3 hours. An exploration of the ways in which law is used both to advance gender equality and to institutionalize gender-based discrimination. At its core, the course aims to explore the construction of gender and sexuality as reflected in and by the legal process. Topics covered will include: the right to "sexual privacy"; medicalization of sex, gender, and sexuality; US military exclusions and the construction of manhood; legal responses to "sexual speech" and "identity speech"; sexuality and gender in education; gender-based asylum; the changing definition of family; cultural and religious practices and gender; and gender and human rights. Although primarily a course on US jurisprudence, the course will also incorporate international perspectives.
- 686. Law and Morality—3 hours. In this course we will study several topics at the intersection of law, morality, and religion, including these: What is the morality of human rights—and what is its relationship to the law of human rights? Is religion a legitimate basis of lawmaking in a liberal democratic society? Should capital punishment be abolished? Should abortion be banned? Should same-sex marriage be recognized? The final exam will be of the "take-home" variety.
- 633. Family Law—2 hours. A study of the problems, policies, and laws related to the creation and the dissolution of family relationships.
There is also a Sexuality and Law course that is offered (but not every semester).
