LAW 373 - Law &__; Exploring Relationship Between Law & Other Disciplines

1

Law does not always stand alone. Instead, it influences and is impacted by other disciplines. This course explores the inter-relationship between law and economics, psychology, sociology, criminology, and philosophy. Led by distinguished scholars from across the university, this course will examine leading books and articles from each field. Each week, students will explore a different discipline and discuss law’s relationship with that discipline. Students will discuss core principles from each discipline, how the field influences legal doctrine and analysis, and how scholarship can impact the law in the future. The course will be graded pass/fail. Students will be evaluated based on class participation as well as three reaction papers that will be due ten days after each class session.
