Thinking like a Lawyer

Course Description:
This class will engage students in a reflection on the specific components of legal reasoning and argument, on the basis of a selection of cases or texts to be prepared each week. It will also provide elements of comparative and historical legal theory in order to understand the terms in which law (lawyers) think about significant societal issues. The format is interactive and will comprise various practical exercises (hypotheticals, construction of argument, case analysis, and interpretation of texts) designed to help understand the specific mentality of legal actors (judge, attorney, legislator...). Grading will take place on the basis of a continuous assessment (class participation, written exercises). The course will be available on Moodle.
