1 Allard School of Law - University of British Columbia Jurisprudence and Critical Perspectives (3 cr.) LAW Winter 2016 Tuesday and Thursday, 4:00-5:30pm Room 105 CONTACT INFORMATION Professor Jonas-S. Beaudry Office: Allard Hall, Room 357 Tel: (604) beaudry@allard.ubc.ca Office hours: By appointment & 30 min. after each class. DESCRIPTION This course will introduce you to major schools of thought in jurisprudence, including natural law, legal positivism, legal realism, as well as critical approaches paying attention to the exclusion of gender, race and disability from the law and legal theory. It will also examine theories and concepts underlying different areas of the law, such as justice, equality, liberty, respect, personhood, wronging and human rights. OBJECTIVES The course has the dual aim of presenting a selective survey of influential readings in legal theory and of providing you with philosophical tools to reflect critically on contemporary legislation and caselaw. By the end of the course, you should be able to: a. Understand the arguments provided by the authors we will examine. b. Compare these authors diverging views and reflect critically upon them. c. Apply some of these theoretical views to concrete scenarios and detect when theoretical arguments could enrich legal analysis. d. Analyze and discuss critically theoretical arguments. Communicate effectively such arguments and your reflections on their merits to your peers. METHODOLOGY Lecture and participation methods will be used. You are expected to: 1. Have read the assigned materials prior to class and take part in class discussion of the assigned materials and any exercises relating to them. 2. Active participation will be evaluated by a group presentation on one of the topics explored. The group presentation will provide students with opportunities for collaborative learning and developing oral presentation skills, in addition to ensuring active engagement with the materials. 1 of 7
2 REQUIRED MATERIALS The readings on this syllabus have mostly been drawn from online journals and e-books available to students. The readings that were not directly available online have been uploaded on UBC Connect. EVALUATION You will be evaluated on the basis of your class presentation (40%) and of a final exam (60%). 1. Class Presentation (40%) Students will be divided in 12 groups (of 5 or 6 students per group). Each group will be in charge of making a presentation on the readings for a particular week. The presentation should last about one hour. It should have two main components: (i) summary and analysis of the readings and (ii) critical engagement with the readings. The analysis should clearly lay out the authors hypotheses and the steps they take to defend it. The critical portion can take multiple forms: you may look for internal tensions within an argument, cast doubt on the plausibility of one of the steps of the argument, and contrast it with other views examined in previous classes. If you entirely agree with an argument, you can consider the strongest objections that have been, or could be, made against it, and explain why you find these objections unsatisfactory. Finally, you should endeavour to find a legal text (most commonly, a judicial decision, though it may also be a law, a treaty, a piece of doctrine, a governmental report or an empirical study) that would illustrate how the theoretical argument you have analyzed critically could serve to enrich our understanding of the practice of the law, or to criticize it. (Note that some of the readings do not lend themselves to be concretely applied as easily as others. If so, you may instead devote more time contextualizing this reading within a particular tradition.) You should hand in a summary of your presentation, not exceeding 15 pages (font 12, single space), on the day of your presentation. I will make the summaries available for all the classroom in order to facilitate revision for the final exam. Electronic submissions must be sent to beaudry@allard.ubc.ca, with c.c. to caldwell@allard.ubc.ca. The presentation will be evaluated in function of the group s capacity to analyze, synthesize and present arguments clearly, as well as on the quality and analytic rigour of the group s assessment of the merits of the positions defended in the readings. The evaluation will take into account the level of difficulty of the texts. (Students will neither be penalized for working on more accessible texts, nor for working on more demanding ones.) The presentations will take place after the study break, between February 23 and March 31, The group will receive a single grade, in order to encourage collaborative work in the delivery of the presentation. The option of topics (and their corresponding dates) that you may chose from are listed below. You may consult external literature, but this is not an independent 2 of 7
3 research: the primary goal of the presentation is to analyze, and reflect on, the authors assigned on the syllabus. The topics/dates will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. In order to reserve a topic for your group, you must have the names of your 5 group members and have selected together 3 possible topics, by order of preference. Once this is done, a representative of your group should send me an (the time of reception of this will establish your priority; e.g. if your first choice has already been picked by someone who wrote an hour before, you would get your second choice). Groups and choices of topics should be finalized by the first week of February. 2. Final Examination (60%) There will be an 3-hour, open-book, exam. The primary goal is to assess your general understanding of the readings. The secondary goal is to assess your critical engagement with the readings. There will be a mix of compulsory and optional questions. You should answer to a total of about four questions. There will be a general revision during the last week of the term.
