The Rule of Law Seminar
Fall 2002
The first year of law school is all about the study of specific rules -- Rule 23, the Felony-Murder Rule, the Mailbox Rule, etc. Rarely does any class spend much time pondering the general properties of rules. This seminar does just that. It asks four questions about rules in general: 

(1) What is it about a precedent that binds future courts?
(2) What makes a norm law?
(3) What is the nature of a legal right? and 
(4) What is it that gives law its authority? 

Those who need clear-cut answers and black-letter law to hold on to will not be comfortable. Class presentations and a paper will be required.
