Imagine law not just as a collection of static rules, but as a living, breathing institution. This course invites you to see how the values, conflicts, and institutions of society shape and are shaped by law in turn. We dissect the very concept of law, tracing its origins and evolution within the broader social landscape. We'll venture beyond the confines of formal legal systems to understand law's deeper roots in society.
