It is not a course in law, but a course about law and its ramifications. As a philosophy course, it is designed for students interested in developing and articulating ideas about some of the philosophical issues that permeate the law. The primary text will be Altman's book, which students are expected to read carefully. Written assignments will on topics to be assigned. These papers should be three to five pages in length, and must be typewritten, double-spaced.
Students have an obligation to see that their papers are handed in on the day assigned.
Late papers, if accepted at all, will be down-graded for lateness. Ordinarily a reply can be anticipated within 24 hours. Students for whom it will be difficult because of any physical or mental disability to carry out the work of the course as it has been outlined should notify the instructor in the first two weeks of the course so that appropriate arrangements can be made.
