Law in Contemporary Society
This page is a page for organizing the questions from our third assignment, QuestionsOverview? .


On Wednesday I am going to take a crack at organizing these questions into topics, subtopics, and talk pages. If anyone would like to collaborate (in person) in that process, please send me an email (arc2129@columbia.edu) and we can figure out a time and place. Hopefully, once this list is a bit more manageable, we can all collaborate on getting some answers - particularly to those pressing questions about registering for classes, the writing competition, and using the summer effectively. -- AdamCarlis 08 May 2008

It would be productive to first construct categories into which we can sort out the topics and subtopics. I guess I will start, but please add on because I cannot be as complete and thorough as possible right now. -- JesseCreed - 10 May 2008

1. Professional Goals and Skills
a. Short-term goals
b. Long-term goals
c. Productivity Skills

2. Academic Goals and Skills
a. Courses
b. Journals


A resonating comment from the April 9 lecture:

    The consequence, again, that I’ve seen, is that people decompose the question, "How do I use my skills to have a good life?" into a series of competing questions: Do "I use my skills to get … a meaningful life? paid enough? achieve a work-life balance with respect to the non-work parts of my life I care about?"

I see these categories as being counterproductive to our purpose, which is to view seemingly separate phenomena as wholes.

Andrew, I don't disagree with you comment, but with almost 200 discrete questions I think there must be some organizational scheme for us to effectively work on different people's issues. I am not wedded to the scheme I proposed. If you have a different way of organizing the questions and are willing to put the time into doing so, I would be willing to help.

-- AdamCarlis - 15 May 2008

perhaps moving all of the questions onto one page, but keeping the formatting of separate sections would solve your concern? My concern initially was that doing so would create such a gigantic page that it would be difficult to navigate.

What do people think?
