Course Description
The concept of dignity plays a role in several legal settings, ranging from antidiscrimination law to the law of "dignitary torts" to administrative cost-benefit analysis. At the same time, there is little consensus on what "dignity" means and how dignitary values can be best instantiated in law. This class will examine a variety of applications of dignity in legal contexts. The class will emphasize dignity's function within real-world legal doctrine and practice, while also considering theoretical frameworks surrounding dignity.
