Legal Studies/Political Science 217: Law, Politics and Society

Calendar Description: This class is an introduction to the legal process by examining how law intersects with politics and society. The course has three broad and overlapping sections. First, we will begin with theoretical concepts of law and justice. Next, we will review the structure and development of legal institutions in the U.S. Finally, using pending and recent cases from the Supreme Court, we will look at particular issues in law and the connection between law and social change.
