Course Description
This senior seminar provides the opportunity to deepen the knowledge that you have gained over
your previous three years as a Legal Studies student. We will explore major topics relevant to the
study of law from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives, focusing in equal measure on both
the historical context of the subject matter as well as current developments in the area.
Course Objectives
Given that this is a senior seminar, the first objective is to encourage students to take ownership
of the course. Other than a few opening remarks and guiding questions from the course
instructor, the students themselves are responsible for setting the tone and tempo of the in-class
experience. The second objective, related to the first, is to foster an environment of respectful
and knowledgeable critique, which is essential to effective scholarly debate. This means that
students must be exceptionally well-prepared on a weekly basis to not only answer, but also ask
pointed questions that demonstrate your critical reading and thinking skills.
Required Texts

All of readings can be accessed through the Library Course Reserves.

Late and Missed Course Requirements
Any assignment submitted after the date and time that it is due will be subjected to a 5% per day
late penalty (Saturdays and Sundays together count for 5%). For example, if you submit a paper
that is assessed at 85%, it will fall to 80% if you submit it late by one day, 75% for two days,
70% for three days (and so on).
Note: (a) your assignment will not be accepted if it is more than 5 days late;
(b) the following policies also apply if you think that you will not be able to carry-out
your responsibilities as a seminar leader on the date you selected at the beginning of the
term.
Accommodations will only be considered if:
(a) you are ill and submit a University of Waterloo Verification of Illness Form to the
course instructor as soon as possible;
(b) there was a death of a family member, which you can prove through official
documentation (travel receipts will not suffice) submitted to the course instructor;
(c) due dates conflict with important dates on your religious calendar, and you have
informed the course instructor of this fact;
(d) you are registered with AccessAbility Services and can provide the course instructor
with the relevant documentation.
Do familiarize yourself with the University of Waterloo’s policies on what your responsibilities
are in the event of a late or missed course requirement: https://uwaterloo.ca/registrar/finalexaminations/examination-regulations-and-related-matters#acc_illness
Keep in mind the following regulations:
Students in on-campus courses who are ill and unable to meet assignment due dates or
write a term test or final examination should seek medical treatment and provide
confirmation of the illness to the instructor(s) within 48 hours by submitting a completed
University of Waterloo Verification of Illness Form to support requests for
accommodation due to illness.
The University of Waterloo Verification of Illness Form is normally the only acceptable
medical documentation and is available on line at uwaterloo.ca/health-services/studentmedical-clinic/services/verification-illness. Students who consult their physician or use
the services of an off-campus walk-in clinic must provide this form to the attending
physician for completion; doctors' notes and forms created by the physician or clinic are
normally not acceptable.
Submission and Pick-up of Assignments
You will submit your written work in person on December 5, 2013. You will be able to pick up
your graded assignments within two weeks of the date of submission.

Academic Integrity
In order to maintain a culture of academic integrity, members of the University of Waterloo and
its Federated University and Affiliated Colleges are expected to promote honesty, trust, fairness,
respect and responsibility.
Discipline
A student is expected to know what constitutes academic integrity, to avoid committing
academic offences, and to take responsibility for his/her actions. A student who is unsure
whether an action constitutes an offence, or who needs help in learning how to avoid offences
(e.g., plagiarism, cheating) or about “rules” for group work/collaboration should seek guidance
from the course professor, academic advisor, or the Associate Dean. When misconduct has been
found to have occurred, disciplinary penalties will be imposed under St. Jerome’s University
Academic Discipline Policy and UW Policy 71 – Student Discipline. For information on
categories of offenses and types of penalties, students should refer to Policy 71 - Student
Discipline.
Grievance
A student who believes that a decision affecting some aspect of his/her university life has been
unfair or unreasonable may have grounds for initiating a grievance. For students who decide to
file a grievance, students should refer to Policy 70 – Student Petitions and Grievances. In such a
case, contact Dr. Scott Kline (scott.kline@uwaterloo.ca), Associate Dean of St. Jerome’s
University.
Appeals
A student may appeal the finding and/or penalty in a decision made under Policy 71 – Student
Discipline or Policy 70 – Student Petitions and Grievances if a ground for an appeal can be
established. In such a case, contact
Dr. John Rempel (jrempel@uwaterloo.ca), Appeals Officer of St. Jerome’s University.

Note for students with disabilities
The AccessAbility Services (AS) Office, located in Needles Hall, Room 1132, collaborates with
all academic departments to arrange appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities
without compromising the academic integrity of the curriculum. If you require academic
accommodations to lessen the impact of your disability, please register with the AS Office at the
beginning of each academic term.
