PHL 235 - Reasoning and the Law

Course Units: 1
(Not offered this Academic Year) A non-technical introduction to legal reasoning. We will consider the nature of arguments in general and learn how to distinguish good arguments from bad ones, and then consider a variety of issues that arise in the context of the law, including arguments whose force turns on a proper understanding of men’s real and proximate cause. The arguments that we will consider are drawn primarily from judicial decisions. We shall also examine the relationship between morality and the law. CC: HUM
