The History of the American Common Law System
Instructor: Roy Sobelson
Wed, Oct 04, 2023 to Nov 15, 2023  - 11:15AM - 12:45PM
Join us on this captivating exploration of the American legal system. Enroll now and become a part of the legacy that shapes our nation's laws and liberties! 
 

The United States is one of only about 40 countries with a “common law” legal tradition. About 10 of the 40 are major first world countries with long ties to Great Britain. Most other countries have what is known as a “civil law” tradition, which is quite different. This course will first examine the origins of the civil law tradition and how it “evolved” into the English common law. We’ll then see how our common law has developed and continues to develop, and how many modern rights, privileges, immunities, claims and defenses have come to be and still affect us. We will also focus on some current legal battles to see how they arose and how they will be sorted out through public court opinions and precedent. Secure your spot today.

The Mindset: Embracing The Sandwich Generation
Instructor: Kathleen Carr
Thu 12:00PM - 1:30PM
Oct 05, 2023 to Nov 16, 2023

Are you Aging or Maturing?  Declining and fading, or evolving and advancing? How you answer that question – your Mindset – can define outcomes to challenges that arise mid-life. Adult children get squeezed in the “sandwich generation” of simultaneously caring for their own kids and aging parents. Feeling a sense of control over this specific set of issues requires the proper mindset, one that allows you to reframe challenges as opportunities.

In this series of moderated discussions. each with time for Q&A, a range of subject matter experts will discuss positive ways of addressing some of the challenges life presents for the 40 to 60-something set.
