This course examines the intersection of law, politics and society in a comparative perspective. The goal of the course is to familiarize you with the workings of the many and varied legal traditions and practices outside the United States. The course focuses on comparing commonalities and differences across legal contexts as well as the positives and negatives of doing law in different ways given those contexts.
