Intro to Legal Theory course now available, July 7th – 30th, 1 Credit Pass\/Fail<\/p>\n
Carl Moy is offering a lecture\/seminar class this July, entitled \u201cIntroduction to Legal Theory.\u201d \u00a0This class builds on some of the concepts you were exposed to in first-year Legal Writing, treating them in greater depth and with more rigor.\u00a0 It should be interesting for those who want a more comprehensive understanding of how the law works.\u00a0 It will be especially valuable if you anticipate being involved in litigation or high<\/p>\n
The series can be taken as an Independent Study, for 1 credit, pass\/fail.\u00a0 To receive credit, students must, in addition to emailing Carl Moy and Deanna Burns, fill-out the independent research request form, found on Office of the Registrar page, and submit to registrar@mitchellhamline.edu<\/a>\u00a0no later than Monday, July 7; retro-active registration and credit will not be applied. Alternatively, you can attend the series simply for your enrichment.<\/p>\n The course will consist of six 90-minute discussions, divided into three topics.\u00a0 The first topic examines logical reasoning concepts as used in law, and uses analyses from Logic to understand Law; the second looks at ambiguity in legal rules and how that ambiguity is resolved via interpretation and construction; the third is a discussion of how making law via case decisions is limited, and how those limitations impact the precedential effects of case law.<\/p>\n The sessions will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6:30-8:00 p.m. in a hybrid format.\u00a0 You may attend in person Room 229<\/strong> not 219 or via Zoom.\u00a0 The presentations will also be recorded on Panopto, in case you need to access them asynchronously. However, I believe you will get the most out of them by attending synchronously.<\/p>\n Classes will be held on the following evenings:<\/p>\n July 7, 9 Part I: Logic Principles in Law,<\/p>\n July 14, 16 Part II: Ambiguity and the Interpretation and Construction of Legal Rules,<\/p>\n July 28, 30 Part III: The Limits of Law Made via Case Decisions<\/p>\n If you are interested in learning law thoroughly, getting the most out of your classes, and becoming a skillful lawyer, you will like this series of presentations very much.\u00a0 If you are interested in attending, please email both me, at carl.moy@mitchellhamline.edu<\/a>, and Deanna Burns, at\u00a0deanna.burns@mitchellhamline.edu<\/a>, and we will see that you are added to the canvas page.<\/p>\n I look forward to seeing you there.<\/p>\n Carl Moy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Intro to Legal Theory course now available, July 7th – 30th, 1 Credit Pass\/Fail Carl Moy is offering a lecture\/seminar class this July, entitled \u201cIntroduction to Legal Theory.\u201d \u00a0This class builds on some of the concepts you were exposed to in first-year Legal Writing, treating them in greater depth and with more rigor.\u00a0 It should … <\/p>\n
