It will also consider International Law, which is an entirely separate legal system. United States Constitutional Law This session will focus on the history and evolution of United States Constitutional Law. It will address the powers of the President and Executive Branch, the role of Congress and its respective powers, and the hierarchical court system of the Judicial Branch. It will also consider individual rights accorded by the Constitution and the limitations on those rights. Contract Law This session will consider the role of contracts – agreements between private parties for goods and services. Tort Law Tort Law is the law of accidents and/or unintended harms. This class will consider the major categories of tort law using both historical and contemporary case examples Criminal Law Criminal Law is a particularly dynamic arena of law. In Criminal Law, the government seeks to prosecute individuals who have broken the law of society – usually by injuring others physically or financially. This session will consider prosecution, defense and punishment of alleged criminal conduct. Family Law Family law is undergoing a veritable revolution. This is because our concept of family is experiencing change, especially in the wake of increasing population mobility, legal recognition of same-sex marriage, and the stunning scientific advances associated with reproduction. Public Health Law Public health is key to public good and well-being, but it requires individuals to comply with laws and practices that may inhibit their personal choices. This session will consider the role of government in assuring and promoting public health and welfare. It will also consider the impact of such measures on individual rights – often rights that are guaranteed by the Constitution. ▶实地考察参观 作为法律讲座的补充,学生们还将参加由华盛顿大学讲师带领的2次实地考察。这些实地考察将使得学生直接从立法者、法官、律师、法律代理和裁决的工作人员那里看到或了解正在实施的法律,例如,可以访问和参观位于西雅图的美国联邦地方法院、西雅图地区律师事务所,或者邀请华盛顿州总检察长办公室或立法机构的代表进行演讲。 法律讲座授课教师简介: Patricia Kuszler B.A. 1974, Mills College M.D. 1978, Mayo Medical School J.D. 1991, Yale University Director, Graduate Program in Health Law Director, Center for Law, Science and Global Health Director, Master of Jurisprudence Program Theodor Myhre B.A. 1990, Evergreen State College M.A. 1991, Drew University M.A. 1994, Boston College J.D. 2000, Seattle University School of Law Senior Law Lecture 四、项目时间 暑假:7月-8月(项目为期2周,具体时间待定) 寒假:1月-2月(项目为期2周,具体时间待定) 五、报名条件 ▶在校本科生或者研究生; ▶年满 18周岁; ▶托福 65分/雅思5.5分/大学英语四六级及格或者通过项目面试方可参加; 六、住宿安排 项目期间,将优先安排学生入住华盛顿大学学生宿舍,宿舍配有床书桌柜子,且需要刷华盛顿大学学生卡方可进入,安全有保障。如校内住宿无法安排,则安排寄宿家庭。 七、签证类型 F-1学生签证 八、参考项目安排
