The philosophy of law involves reflective analysis and assessment of legal institutions. In this course students will study and distinguish between normative and conceptual issues relating to laws and legal systems. Abstract legal principles will be discussed in the context of specific statutes and judicial decisions. The general objective of the course is to enhance the student's capacity to think critically about the law. A part of this task is simply learning more about legal systems. This being a philosophy of law course, the assimilation of information is not sufficient. Students will be engaged in the analysis of concepts, e.g. liability, punishment, consent. Most importantly, they will be concerned with the concept of law itself. They will also be concerned with the reflective evaluation of legal practices and be able to determine under what conditions the practices are justified and also distinguish between procedural and substantive law. |
