Course Description
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.
Through discussion of a variety of high-profile and lesser-known trials throughout history, this course will examine a range of issues in the history of law and criminality. We will study the changing conceptions of justice and punishment, trials as a form of social marginalization, and the relationship between ideology—imperialism, liberalism, communism, fascism—and law. Cases to be covered include: Socrates, Jesus Christ, Joan of Arc, animal trials, Galileo, witch trials, Marie-Antoinette, the Dreyfus Affair, the Stalinist show trials, the war crimes trials at Nuremberg, Adolf Eichmann, and O.J. Simpson.
When Offered Spring.
