PSI 351 - Nature, Function, and Limits of the Law (3)

Students in this course will study the means and ends of social ordering through law. That is, the class will explore what law is and is not and what it is capable of doing within the social context. Upon completion, students will demonstrate an understanding of the law as an instrument for remedying grievances, as an instrument for defining and punishing crimes, as an administrative-regulatory instrument, as a facilitator of private arrangements between people, and as a way of promoting safety and human rights.

Offered even spring terms.
