Workshop: Legal Theory (LAW376Y1Y)

Students who wish to enroll for academic credit are expected to attend all the workshops. (A complete schedule will be distributed before the term begins.) In addition, students will prepare reflection comments on papers, sent in advance of the talks, of about 500 words on four workshop papers (2 per term). These reflections must conclude with a question that could be asked of the speaker at the workshop, and students will be called upon to ask their question at the workshop at least once per term. At the end of the course, a list of questions about the talks will be distributed, and students will choose questions from this list to answer and discuss in a 30 minute in-person meeting with the instructors. Evaluation will be based on reflection comments (4 x 7.5% each); final oral examination (60%); and attendance (10%). Note: Students must pass all components of the course to receive credit for the workshop.
