About this course

This course will provide students with the necessary skills to extract the key elements from a law, define those elements, and then appropriately apply them to a set of known facts. Students will learn how to critically assess the legal reasoning process in the formation of public policy. Understanding the relationship between legal reasoning and the creation of public policy in the United States is an essential first step for gaining a deeper and more meaningful insight into the far-reaching impact it has on the foundational social, economic, and political power structures that shape and sustain the republic.
