Please address all the questions in the essay. Please write an essay in response to the following prompt. The essay should be four to five pages (double-spaced, standard 12-point font, 1-inch margin). In-text citations are sufficient if you only cite assigned readings on the syllabus. There is no expectation that you will use any sources aside from course materials. However, if you do choose to use such sources, please cite them by author and page in the text and provide a full reference to them in a bibliography at the end of your essay. Note that the use of any material from another source that is not properly cited constitutes a violation of university policy on “integrity of scholarship.”
Please refer to the rubric I prepared (scroll down) as you write your essay so that your essay addresses the questions specifically. In order to demonstrate your understanding, you must make reference to the readings, define your concepts clearly, and back up your arguments with examples. You may want to back up your claims with a combination of specific quotes from the readings. If you choose to do so, you do not need to provide formal footnotes. But please put the author’s name and the page number in parentheses after the quote or paraphrase. While my lectures may have influenced your understandings of the course materials, you should generally avoid quoting me, or referring to class discussions, unless on occasions when the lectures addressed material that was not covered in your course readings. You are encouraged to discuss the question with other members of the class, in thinking through the question. But please do the writing entirely by yourself.
Please write a short essay that addresses the following questions. The essay does not need to be a single coherent essay. However, the essay must address specifically the three following questions.
1) What does law do to promote individualism? Using the writing of Lawrence Friedman, explain.
2) Why is Lawrence v. Texas considered a win for legal individualism? Hint: Discuss this by showing how Lawrence v. Texas is more than a ruling on homosexuality (Justice Kennedy’s majority opinion, please watch Lecture 4).
3) How does the recent decision of Dobbs v. Jackson’s Women Health Organization challenge legal individualism (Lecture 4)? (Hint: Address its implications beyond the issue of abortion right.)
