An introduction to some of the main issues generated by the philosophical question, "What is law?" In what sense is conduct made obligatory by the existence of law? What, if any, is the relationship between law and morals? What are rules? What does it mean to say that a rule exists? Do courts really apply rules or merely pretend to do so?

CollegeHe has a wonderful personality (very funny guy) and made lectures super interesting. Expectations were made extremely clear and despite a somewhat heavy workload, success was achievable with effort. The course itself was super interesting too.
LOVE Prof. Jarrett!!!! His lectures are unskippable they're so funny and informative. He really expects a lot from his students and his class material reflects that. He grades harshly on tests and they're built to be concise, so you can't BS them, but he often curves to help students. Transparent and great, you'll "PARTY" in his class!!!!
Fantastic prof, genuinely the funniest guy on campus, relatively difficult compared to others and demands more from his students. His classes are real preparations for academic study in phil, they demand attentive reading and ability to digest and grasp abstract content. Phil 143 is fantastic. There's a reason all his courses are popular.
Jarrett was great - demanding, very interesting, and fair. Very talkative and a lot of information (not just from him but just the course content too), so you have to go to lectures, take notes, and there are reading quizzes. Graded on 3 tests and a paper, so you have to study a lot and well but can improve your grade as the quarter goes on.
Very kind and funny professor. Lectures were very fun to attend. Reading was sometimes confusing but like another comment said, ended up doing better in the class than originally thought. Exams are very fair.
He is such a fun professor. His lectures are informative and I like to sit back and just listen to him. He has a super organized class, you know exactly what you will be doing. I really liked this course and highly recommend people to give him a chance. There is not a lot of homework!
