This course explores justifications for and criticism of property, exploring the legal concept from philosophical, socio-economic, and other theory-based standpoints. Without seeking to take in the field comprehensively, the course will touch upon traditional pillars of debate from across the topic, such as ‘liberal’ and utilitarian defences, public ‘takings’, and inter-generational issues. The emphasis of the teaching sessions is on student engagement in some of the core debates and controversies in this field with a view to developing skills of analysis, argument, and critique. Law students will also benefit from a deeper insight into the policy debates underpinning the detail of doctrinal or ‘black letter’ law. |
