1 Professor Jeffrey Lenowitz Olin-Sang 206 Office Hours: Mondays, 1:30-3:30 Course Description: POL 192b: Legal Theory Spring 2016 Room: TBD W 2:00 4:50PM This is a course in legal theory and philosophy. It does not focus on case law, the techniques of a lawyer, or the structure of any particular legal system. Rather, we will focus on the deep conceptual and normative assumptions upon which any legal system or action ultimately rests. We will be looking at jurisprudential debates that began in the ancient world and continue to this day, moving from abstract and general questions to some specific moral questions of our time. In the first half of the course we will focus on analytical jurisprudence, contemplating such questions as: What is law? What is its relationship to morality? What do or should judges do? In the second half, we will focus on normative jurisprudence, asking: Should governments attempt to legislate societal norms? Can the law, rightfully, tell us who to have sex with or what substances not to ingest? Why do we punish lawbreakers? Can we justify capital punishment? Are there limits to contracts? For instance, can we contract away our offspring? What does it mean for someone to be liable for damages and how should this be determined? Objectives & Learning Goals The goals of this course are many. Four of them are as follows: 1. To become acquainted with and gain general competence in some of the key areas of legal theory. 2. To further develop and sharpen the ability to think critically in an analytically rigorous way, and to give articulate expression of this thinking through both oral communication and written work. 3. To give you the tools to become more active, knowledgeable, and critical legal subjects; to shake up how you conceptualize and understand the legal universe we all find ourselves in. 4. To develop the capacity to focus on, learn from, and participate in rigorous academic discussion. Prerequisites: This seminar is designed for advanced undergraduates and graduate students. The readings are challenging and numerous, the subject matter complex, and students will engage
2 with ideas and arguments drawn from the history of political thought, political theory, legal theory, and moral philosophy. As such, students should have a foundation in political theory, philosophy, or law, meaning that they have taken one or two courses in these areas. Students who do not have this base but still wish to take the course may me and we can discuss the possibility of an exception. Requirements and Grading: Students are expected to complete all assigned readings in accordance with the class schedule and to be prepared to discuss them in depth. This course combines minilectures, student presentations, and most importantly, with vigorous discussion, none of which will be useful unless all material is read ahead of time. Attendance is mandatory unless accompanied by a legitimate explanation. We meet only once per week, thus the threshold for what makes an explanation legitimate will be quite high. Note that this is Four-Credit Course with three hours of class-time per week. This means that success is based on the expectation that students will spend a minimum of 9 hours of study time per week in preparation for class (readings, papers, exam preparation, etc.). Undergraduate Students: - Seminar Participation, 10% [attendance and active participation] - Weekly online reading comments, 10% - In-class Presentation, 10% [prepare 20 minutes of material, with a handout] - Final paper ( words), 30% [Due: December 9, noon] - One short paper ( words), 20% Due: October 4, noon. - One take-home late midterm, 20% Due: November 2, noon. Graduate Students: - In-class Presentation, 10% - Seminar Participation, 15% - Weekly online reading comments, 10% - Term paper (20-25 pages), 65% **Please note that if you are a student with a documented disability on record at Brandeis University and wish to have a reasonable accommodation made for you in this class, please see me immediately. Academic Integrity: All students are expected to be familiar with and to follow the University s policies on academic integrity (see Faculty may refer any suspected instances of alleged dishonesty to the Office of Student Development and Conduct. Instances of academic dishonesty may result in sanctions including but not limited to, failing grades being issued, educational programs, and other consequences. 2
3 Technology Policy: No phones or computers should be visible during the class. Checking either of them will result in a reduced participation grade. However, if there are exceptional circumstances that require you to use a computer, come talk to me and we can see about the possibility of an exception. Late Assignment Policy: Late assignments, defined as any assignment turned in more than 15 minutes after the deadline without prior notification, will be downgraded one grade step (i.e. a B+ would automatically become a B). After this, a further grade step will be lost for every day that an assignment is late. For example, a B paper due on Friday but handed in on Monday will receive a C-. Papers submitted more than four days after the due date will not be accepted. Class Schedule: * Any changes to schedule will be communicated in class or through class .
