This is a graduate seminar that takes the foundational questions of jurisprudence seriously: what makes law actually binding, where its authority ends, and how it relates to morality, rights, and individual liberty. You'll work through historical and contemporary readings (Schauer's anthology plus weekly articles on Moodle), debate them in seminar, and do most of your thinking through writing, a term essay, a homework piece, and a final essay where you defend a position rather than summarize one. Expect the natural law vs. legal positivism debate to anchor everything else, with the harm principle and global justice extending those tools to free speech, punishment, and intervention.
