LAWS13016 Jurisprudence

Course details

Unlike prior courses which focus on law as it is - 'black-letter' law - this capstone course considers more theoretical, analytical, doctrinal and philosophical aspects of the entire law enterprise - a specialised societal subsystem. This course canvasses several philosophical doctrines including: natural law, legal positivism, sociological context of law and economic analyses of the law. These and related topics are explored in this course to enable students to integrate legal knowledge into the broad inter-disciplinary mainstream and equip them with enhanced practical legal reasoning skills.
