LAW-6120 JURISPRUDENCE

An examination of different views of the law and the function of law in society to enable one to form one's own theories about the law. With a frame of inquiry that focuses on legal authority, the course examines the major schools of jurisprudence (including Natural Law, Historicism, Positivism, Legal Realism, and Sociological Jurisprudence) with emphasis on the insights they provide, if any, into the legal, ethical and social problems confronted by the contemporary lawyer.
