Paths to Justice
This class will examine legal issues and court rulings through landmark cases, essays, literature and film. We will analyze legal reasoning and argument while honing our critical thinking and writing skills. As we explore current and historical topics, we will pose the following questions: Is justice blind? How does judicial policy affect our lives? What is the connection between legal decision-making and popular sentiment? What is the best way to construct a reasoned argument?
