Law and Society
It is expected that students will:
analyse how society uses law to express its values
analyse contemporary events and issues that demonstrate a possible conflict between the law and societal values.
assess the role of collective action in changing the law in democracies (e.g., activities of lobby and pressure groups, voting at the polls, citizen petitions)
assess the power of the individual citizen to change or modify our laws, and determine under what circumstances individuals have a responsibility to seek legal reform (e.g., civil rights violations, police brutality, privacy issues).
