We live in a country that stands on the value of the rule of law and are expected to comply with those laws and rules; however, how does one comply if one doesn't know the applicable rule or law?  Unfortunately, ignorance is no defense of the law. 

This class will provide students with a foundation and platform from which to launch applicable research as it relates to all areas of personal rights.  Students will be guided through primary, secondary and tertiary sources - establishing a concrete understanding of sourcing.  They will begin their time participating in a guided workshop utilizing various platforms accessing essays and articles supporting the day's content.  After gaining an historical foundation and developing skills necessary to think critically, students will participate in a facilitated civil dialouge with their peers and reflect on their new understandings.  They will use case study methodology.
