Islamic Law: Islamic Studies
built 236 days ago
Warren used to cover Islamic law in a two-week span of her Comparative Law course. Then a small group of students came to her last spring and asked if she would sponsor them in a directed reading on the subject. Directed readings are small groups of students, sponsored by a faculty member at the law school, who study a particular subject for a semester when there is no official course offered. She agreed to sponsor the group and the response was overwhelming. So many students wanted to participate, she had to find an additional faculty sponsor. At the conclusion of the spring semester, Warren said, the law school administration saw the tremendous student interest in Islamic law and agreed to offer a full-credit course.
