This course is offered by the Law School to non-law students. The course is designed to introduce students to the workings of the Canadian legal system, and to the basics of several areas of law, in particular tort law (wrongs by one person against another). The course is taught using a combination of scholarly writing and case law, and is intended to allow students to reach an understanding of how courts reason, and the principles brought to bear in reaching their decisions. 2520 is intended to allow students to build upon the knowledge gained in Law 2501 to deepen their knowledge of the Canadian legal system. Enrolment is limited to students in their second year of undergraduate studies and beyond.
