100 level Courses - Trek and the Law
The three 100 level courses all explore legal issues in the first four Star Trek series and nine motion pictures. The Star Trek Encyclopedia will be a very useful resource.

COL101 - UFP Law

This course explores laws, general orders, decisions, regulations, and procedures from the United Federation of Planets in the 23rd and 24th centuries.

COL102 - The Prime Directive

General Order One is called Prime for a reason. Explore the history of this most important of all Federation rules, and how it shapes the actions of the UFP.

COL103 - Xenojurisprudence

IDIC meets the law. This course samples legal issues in a wide range of cultures, especially focusing on non-UFP interstellar governments.


200 level Courses - Foundations of 24th Century Law
The three 200 level courses explore today's world, emphasizing practical understanding for the active STARFLEET leader. Each course has its own suggested references.

COL201 - Law Made Simple--Parliamentary Procedure

This course studies the basics of parliamentary procedure. Our rules for running meetings derive from the practices of our legislative bodies, and mirror their concerns. Suggested reference: Robert's Rules of Order, in the most recent edition you can find.

COL202 - STARFLEET Procedure

Here we look at how STARFLEET runs, including organization and the duties of officers. The STARFLEET Membership Handbook is the text.

COL203 - In Search of Human Rights

The root of 24th century sentient rights is in the philosophical debates of earlier eras. Three prominent Terran codes are contrasted: the Bill of Rights of the USA (1789), the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (1982), and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948). These codes are available in an electronic manual (.txt file), or will be mailed to the student.
