Law and Morality

This course explores the philosophical and moral underpinnings of four fundamental areas in the law school curriculum: Contract, Property, Tort, and Criminal Law. Landmark cases from each area will be examined, focusing upon philosophical analysis and moral evaluation of the law. If contracts have the same moral relations that we describe as promises in our everyday social relations, how should that fact guide the principles we follow in contract law?
