Description: Designed for all students (but with special care taken to cater towards pre-law students, PLST Minors, Political Science Majors/Minors, the future paralegals of America, and those interested in pursuing a J.D), Legal Interpretation sets out to make sense of the laws that govern the land and all the people within - by introducing the fundamentals of legal research and writing - all while providing an opportunity to question the morality of those rules. From Affirmative Action to the Death Penalty, Legal Interpretation takes a deep dive into many of the issues that create the backdrop of modern-day America. Students will apply all the knowledge they gained in this course and their own moral beliefs to ultimately answer the question: how should our personal ethical codes intersect with our interpretation of the law?
