Course Catalog Description:: What is law? Must true laws be just? When (if ever) are civil disobedience or legal punishment morally justified? Do good laws incorporate (or legislate) morality? Consider and debate these issues using philosophical texts, case law, and the occasional novel.
Class Description:: This class examines the relationship between law and morality by looking at the works of several prominent legal scholars and philosophers including John Austin, Saint Thomas Aquinas, H.L.A. Hart, Jeremy Bentham, and others. We will also apply the theories they put forward to various prominent court decisions.
