| 備考/ NotesNotes |
As this course builds on Anglo-American Law A, the course objectives are generally the same, but students are expected to build-on and enhance the skills they previously learned; namely:
•Possess proficiency in working with and comprehending legal precedents within a Common Law system (specifically U.S. Constitutional Law) by displaying the ability to critically assess arguments based on the robustness of evidence and reasoning.
•Exhibit fundamental legal analysis skills, which involves close attention to details, use of correct legal terminology, and the application of case law and principles to assess hypothetical and real-life scenarios.
The professor will give lectures on different core concepts that have been developed through the Common Law legal system, with particular emphasis on decisions made by the U.S. Supreme Court. The social context surrounding the cases will be examined in addition to the legal theories at play.
Paired with lectures is the expectation of in-class discussion and debate of the subject matter. Students should come to class prepared to actively participate in class discussion and exercises. Attending class and participating in class are not the same thing. I reserve the right to raise or lower a student’s grade based on class participation or lack thereof; this includes any occasion on which a student is unprepared for class. I may also use a “on call” system where students are tasked with answering reading assignment questions.

The law, and therefore this course, inevitably deals with topics of a sensitive nature. Topics such as race, sexuality, freedom of speech, bodily autonomy, religion, life and death, are the types of topics that all societies grapple with. In your study of the law you will encounter some topics that are innately difficult to discuss. The number one rule for this class is that you do your utmost to be respectful and generous to others. The topics themselves and the phrasing/vocabulary used to discuss them may be difficult at times. I ask that everyone stay open-minded and willing to listen to others. Intentionally harmful, demeaning, derogatory, or other behavior will not be tolerated.
