TOPICS: LAW WS: REWRITING LANDMARK S COURT RULINGS in Spring 2024 (LW2091E)

This workshop will develop students’ skills of legal writing and legal reasoning with a focus on burning issues of social, economic, criminal, environmental, or other types of injustice. Catering to students’ fields of interest, the workshop participants will be asked to choose a landmark judgment of a highest judicial instance in a legal jurisdiction (e.g., the US Supreme Court, the French Constitutional Council, or the Inter-American Court of Human Rights) that they consider to be wrongly decided, rethink it, and rewrite it.
