Benjamin Franklin Seminars (AS) {BENF} BENF courses are multi-disciplinary seminars taught by visiting scholars or
emeritus professors. These scholars bring their areas
of special expertise to Penn undergraduates. The
courses are often one-time seminars, not repeated
in subsequent semesters.
BF 099. Independent Study (C). Prerequisite: Permission of the department. May be taken for multiple credits. Specific studies under the direction of a faculty member. See website, http://www.upenn.edu/curf/courses/benf-099 for proposal form and due dates.
BF 219. Judges and Judging (M). Bermant Not for first-year students. Judges in law courts are bound to decide facts
according to law and to find law in keeping with
precedent, statutes, and the Constitution. How do
judges shoulder this great responsibility when the
cases before them involve highly politicized, morally
charged, socially divisive issues about which the
judge may have formed a strong personal opinion?
The course will address this question through a reading
of cases and commentary.
