An Examination Of Moral Boundaries Associated With Legal And Social Changes In Response To The Aids Epidemic, Lauri Sue Johnson

Dissertations and Theses

This thesis explores the relationship between law and society and various forms of causality: (1) legal change leading to social change; (2) social change leading to legal change; and (3) the interdependent interaction between social change and legal change. It is proposed that a multi-directional approach would be the most useful in examining the moral boundaries exemplified in the law identified with legal and social changes that have resulted in response to the AIDS epidemic.
