Description :This course is an introduction to law and emotions. The course aims to build understanding of the role that emotion plays in law and justice and in legal practice and ethics. The course approaches hypothesizes that emotion animates the law, and that unawareness and unrecognized emotion play a nontrivial role in exacerbating shortcomings in the system, affecting legal scholarship, doctrines, processes and outcomes, even as these affects operate beneath the surface of jurisprudence. The course then unpacks the complicated and instrumental role that emotion probably plays in legal thought and consciousness, exploring such issues as how emotion impacts legal actors, reasoning and decision-making and what is the implication and consequence of that.Posting limited to:Date Posted:April 05, 2024Closing Date:May 07, 2024Note: Applications will be accepted until 11:59 PM on the day prior to the Posting End Date aboveExpected Enrolment:Approval date:April 05, 2024Number of credits:Work Hours:0Course type:Posting type:Language of instruction:Competence in second language:Course Schedule:- - -Requirements:The Common Law Section is seeking candidates who are leaders in the legal profession.
