HSEM2801H: Think Like a Lawyer: The Art and Adventure of Torts

3 CreditsHonorsBiological SciencesCivic Life and EthicsTopics Course

Law is the foundation of modern society. The ability to understand our legal system is invaluable in any profession, ranging from business and health to science or art. This seminar offers an introduction into legal thinking: Not merely what the laws are, but why we have them and, more importantly, how we come up with them. As a focus, we will be grounding ourselves in torts, a fundamental area of legal education that covers the civil wrongs. Students will have an opportunity to get a feeling for the law school experience as we use the case method, along with some Socratic method and ample discussion. We will focus on the basics of legal analysis, and learn how to apply that to critical thinking. Students successfully completing this seminar will be mentally armed and dangerous.
