Scientific advances have frequently spurred law and law has often modified the progress of science. This survey course will consider how this linkage has developed, persisted and become ever more pivotal as technology and innovation have advanced.
The course will first consider the role of science and technology in the courtroom, particularly in the context of criminal law and investigation. It will then explore the way that science influences law-making and regulation, including examples of how "bad science" may lead to enactment of laws that promote, rather that protect against injustice.
This will include examination of the impact of science and law on individual rights, in the context of education, reproductive decision-making and determination of parenthood, and privacy. Finally, we will consider science from the global perspective and consider the global justice issues arising from disparities in access to innovation. Students interested in global health, medicine and human rights are served by the Global Health and Justice course in the spring term.
The Global Health and Justice course explores health as a human right, focusing on injustices that occur around the world resulting in disease, disability and death. Using a justice framework, the course will consider social determinants of health and vulnerabilities that exist among populations and sub-populations, such as women, children, people with disabilities or HIV and the poor.
Special attention will be given to low and middle income country health problems and struggles to attain healthy populations. Students will learn about the Millennium Development Goals, international human rights law and the pivotal role that law and legal infrastructure play in addressing injustices in health.
