Law and Society

Catalog description

In this course, the legal system is studied not in terms of the rules that make up the system, but in terms of the activities involved in creating, interpreting and enforcing these rules. The primary concern is with the ways in which the legal system affects society and in which society is an integral part of the larger social system and not an isolated set of rules, procedures, and activities. Prerequisite: SO 100 or SO 101 .
