<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Are you interested in legal issues? Maybe you want to become a lawyer, or an activist working for legal change? Do you just need upper division credits or that pesky Social Sciences course but want to be stimulated and interested at the same time? Check out GWST 338: Women, Gender, and Law! <br><br>This course examines ways in which gender affects rights with the 
    American civil and criminal legal systems. It explores the 
    interrelationship between traditional attitudes and stereotypes 
    concerning women’s roles in society and the historical development of 
    women’s legal rights. The course focuses on the consequences of sex 
    differences in shaping the rights of persons under the U.S. Constitution
     statutory remedies to discrimination in employment and education, legal
     issues relating to reproduction and personal life, and the response of 
    criminal law to issues affecting women, including domestic violence, 
    rape and prostitution.<br><br>This course meets during the second six-week session, starting July 11, M/W 6:30-9:40. Grab your spot today!<br><br>
