Here are the course descriptions for the fourth year law courses in Winter term 2005 I can consider. BTW I used to write course descriptions on little index cards as I thought this would help me organise and study better. Now today I simply open another browser window and go to the schools web site and copy and past the course descriptions into this editing window. Here are the courses:

LAWS 4101 [0.5 credit] (formerly 51.411*)
Contemporary Justice Theories
Selected major contemporary theories of justice such as those associated with Rawls, Walzer, and Habermas, with emphasis on both their procedural and substantive elements and their concrete ramifications for law, policy and political practice.

LAWS 4306 [0.5 credit] (formerly 51.436*)
Criminal Law Issues
Selected issues and problems in the area of criminal law. The topics may vary from year to year depending on demand and interest and are announced in advance of registration.
