HI 108 - Law and Justice in European History


This course will examine the relationship between ideas of justice, legal institutions, and legal decisions in their European context, from the Roman republic to the twentieth century.  Focusing primarily on criminal law and criminal trials, we will use legal sources to gain insight into the political, social, and cultural values of  Europeans from ancient to modern times.   Subjects presented will enable us to consider the development of ideas of justice over time and evaluate the origins and growth of the Western legal tradition.

Note: Meets Historical Reasoning Learning Outcome (HIST) and the Citizenship Learning Outcome (CITZ)

Four credits.
