LAW 3793 - Domestic Violence Seminar (with Skills)
This course examines the problem of domestic violence between adult intimate partners (not as against aged parents or regarding direct child abuse, although the course will look at the effects upon children exposed to domestic violence and the law’s response). The course considers problems of domestic violence starting with psychological origins of violence. It focuses on domestic violence and its consequences in the legal system in a number of arenas, including family law, civil litigation in various forms (from restraining orders to tort recovery), criminal law response, federal law response, race issues, immigration, and legal responses to same sex or other forms of non-marital intimate domestic violence. The class will meet generally in the three-hour conventional seminar format, with individual students or teams of students occasionally being in charge of particular classes. A paper, which may satisfy Writing Requirement I or II, is required.
In addition to the classroom component, there will be a skills component. The skills component will consist of both an in court and simulation experience.
