CJS 207 - Law and Family
Prerequisites: CJS 105
The course examines the nature of the relationship between the law and families in the United States. The course focuses on an analysis of how the law structures marital and familial relationships and how, in turn, society’s changing definitions and conceptions of marriage and family impacts both criminal and civil law. The course examines the proper boundaries of state intervention in people’s most private relationships and highlights how family law and changes in family law both shape and reflect some of society’s most strongly held social values. Topics include marital privacy, child-parent relationships, divorce, child support and custody, domestic violence, and intra-family crime.
