ADRO 27A00 - Thinking like a Lawyer

This class will engage students in a reflection on the specific components of legal reasoning and

argument, on the basis of a selection of cases or texts to be prepared each week. It will also provide

elements of comparative and historical legal theory in order to understand the terms in which law

(lawyers) think about significant societal issues. The format is interactive and will comprise various

practical exercises (hypotheticals, construction of argument, case analysis, and interpretation of

texts) designed to help understand the specific mentality of legal actors (judge, attorney,

legislator...). The course will be available on moodle.
