This course is designed to teach students basic paradigms and methods of comparative law and how to do research in comparative law through both lectures and projects. We will take different countries as laboratories of legal institutions and endeavor to develop a deeper understanding of the nature and function of law in social, economic, and political development, and how law and culture interact with each other. This course requires class participation (15%), short response papers (15%), and a research paper (70%), which will count for two writing credits for JD/LLM-ICL students and, with instructor approval, may be used to fulfill the SRWP degree requirement for JD students.
