PSCH 317 Law and Society
What is the relationship and role of law in a society? The rule of law,
through constitutions, guarantees that there are realms that are unfettered
by politics. Political tolerance ensures equal access to the political process
and a fair judicial process. Legitimacy, the voluntary relationship between
the citizen and the state, depends on public perceptions of the law, the state
and its judicial institutions. These questions will be considered in terms of
topics ranging from procedural justice, economics, rights and even social
movements.
