Law, Language and Ethics (Law 269)
Course Description:
This is a course in legal and ethical decision-making in difficult cases. One of the most valuable skills a lawyer can have is the ability to make refined judgments in hard cases. We shall focus initially on cases and situations in which the applicable legal and ethical considerations pull in different directions. In resolving such cases, judges often say that they have to balance the conflicting considerations. We shall ask: (1) Are there any general guidelines to be used in resolving such cases? (2) How are weights assigned to the conflicting considerations? We shall also analyze the very common claim that courts often have to interpret the constitution, a statute or a contract in resolving a particular case. There are, as you know, numerous methods of interpreting the law. (3) How then can one choose the best or appropriate method in a particular case; and how does one resolve conflicts among them?These issues are among the most difficult problems one encounters in analyzing the law and ethics. They are also the most nettlesome in legal practice. This course provides an opportunity to systematically explore and refine your sense of how to proceed in analyzing and resolving these issues.

Attention will be given to the most important directives of the European Commission and decisions of the European court of justice.
The course will also look into the discussion about the lack of democratic institutions and the tendencies towards excessive centralization at the European Union level and at the debates about the need for a European constitution following the accession of the Central and East European countries.

Firearms Regulation (Law 448)
Course Description:
This seminar focuses mostly on the criminological and policy arguments for and against gun control.

Three of the class sessions will also deal with the constitutional questions, both under the federal constitution and the state constitutions.Course packet can be picked at Print Services in the law school library. The course packet and TWEN page both have the first reading assignment.
