LAW 9245: Children & the Law

Spring 2027 · 2 credit hours · 1 section · 20 open seats as of Oct 30, 2026, 3:04 AM Central

This course focuses on the status and rights of children within the legal system. Students will study the various legal doctrines that shape how children are addressed in the law. Students will learn how children’s rights have developed over time in the private home, in schools, in the public sphere, and under state regulation. Final grades are based on students’ participation in a mock interview and mock dependency proceeding, and a final paper (no final examination) on a topic regarding children in the legal system. The course does not include matters traditionally covered in LAW 9370: Family Law, such as child custody and child support incident to divorce, or LAW 9254: Juvenile Justice, including criminal investigation/arrest/detention of children.
