（旧科目名：法学特殊講義(Introduction to Legal Studies 1)） |
In this course, students will be introduced to the fundamental concepts of legal studies. They will explore the meaning of law and its relationship with morality. The discussions will revolve around theoretical problems, moral dilemmas, historical developments, and social issues. Through these conversations, students will reflect on the purpose of law, its organization, and its significance. By understanding the principles of legal thinking, students will develop critical and logical thinking skills.
This course provides a fundamental introduction to law and legal theory. It covers a wide range of topics, including the origin of law, the distinction between civil and common law, and the difference between public and private law. Additionally, it explores the relationship between law and morality and examines the purpose of law.
The course is divided into two sections. The first section provides an introduction to legal studies, covering the basics of legal theory. In the second section, students will delve deeper into legal philosophy and discuss the meaning of law and how it should be understood.
While discussing abstract theories may be challenging, it can also be engaging as students are encouraged to voice their opinions and question different perspectives. The class draws on ideas from legal academics such as H.L.A Hart and Ronald Dworkin.
This is an introductory course, and no prior legal background is required. Everyone is welcome to join and participate.
