LAW-2427 Law and Psychology Lab
The Law and Psychology Lab is a 4-credit, one-semester course in which students apply psychological insights to projects designed to improve our laws, legal systems, and legal institutions. It consists of (1) a law & psychology seminar (2 classroom credits) and (2) a law & psychology workshop (2 experiential credits). The seminar component provides a substantive grounding in law & psychology and the field of therapeutic jurisprudence. Students will complete a series of journal entries for this part of the course. The workshop component will consist of an individual project on a topic of the students choosing and a group bibliography project on trauma-informed legal practice. Potential topics for individual projects include, but are not limited to, criminal justice, mental health law, health law, family law, problem-solving courts, employment law, environmental law, public interest law, military law, legal education, and legal profession. Current plans are to offer the course in-person. 4 credits (2 classroom, 2 experiential) 27 Mar 2023 6:58 PM
