Domestic Violence Law

This seminar will examine domestic violence law, policy, and reform in several key arenas including criminal justice, economic policy, civil law, international law, and immigration. We will move from discussions of policy and legal theory to practice oriented exercises, attempting to apply theory to the 'real' lives of women and children who are victims of domestic violence. We will critically examine social science, psychology, and legal materials related to the social problem of domestic violence. One might call this a hybrid class: part legal theory, part policy analysis, part skills building, and all of it interdisciplinary. The course will mostly operate in a graduate seminar format requiring students to engage in thoughtful analysis of the reading. An additional 1 credit is available for papers satisfying the upperclass writing requirement.
