Inside the Classroom, with Professor Anne Coughlin

[@iyiolawilliams6330]

She made a complex analysis look simple. She is just so brilliant and charismatic

[@kombajohn9056]

i am a legal student from Sierra Leone and i have been following through your online lectures and interestingly, i am so impressed with your eloquence and the way you discern topics of great debate in the legal field

[@barrilha]

Such a cool class. Professor Coughlin does a great job in presenting great aspects of the crime of rape and its changes in recent years.

[@christopherkalonji7056]

2:17 The face of the guy at the bottom right when she said "Sex with step-son", lmao!

[@lex4701]

Thanks for the lecture Professor Coughlin! I've been looking for a deeper explanation about criminal law for I was studying in advance because soon I'll go to Law School.

[@reginaldcharles1133]

I love it how she made the topic interesting and easier to understand.

[@MatthewARoyal]

Incredible to see the similarities of the issues discussed in this class with those issues that are discussed in our first year law classes in Jamaica.

[@Bone8444312]

С большим интересом смотрю лекции профессора Анны Кафлин. Хотелось бы посмотреть отдельный полный курс. Просто приятно послушать такого умного человека. В России законы другие, но проблемы те же.

[@joycefan9698]

I love this video. I am going to law school in a couple months, and it is quite enlightening to know that I will discuss issues like this in law school (hopefully).

[@mikes7339]

Joyce Fan so what is driving your decision to go to law school? I am also thinking about it but I have some conflicts of interest.

[@joycefan9698]

Hmm I think I am going because I want to be a lawyer. That's primarily the reason. But it is expensive (both time-wise and money-wise). What are you conflicts of interest, if you don't mind mentioning?

[@mikes7339]

I agree, the money & time commitment can be significant. My conflict is that I'm finishing my Masters in a couple of months so not sure if I want be back in school again but, I may consider a Law Certification. Are you aware of any certification programs in Law?

[@civichoo6017]

Joyce Fan You'll enjoy it! I am a rising 2L and have loved law school so far (though I absolutely dread exam time). It's a lot of hard work, but it's rewarding. Congrats for getting into law school!

@@joycefan9698 Hey joyce how you doing in your law school?

[@averytameduck8725]

I just want to know more than other people and be able to correct them and correct tv that people are watching.

[@huseyinfedai8439]

Verry clever lecturer.

[@asaminewtekleyohannes2351]

wonderful lecture

[@mohssenkh6422]

30:32 so a married woman can't get raped, not by her husband, by a complete stranger? Thet looked at her as a criminal if she went into the court? Why? Didn't they love their wives, daughters and sisters and want to protect them back then?

[@hotforknowledge2111]

What happened to the Doctrine of Contributory Negligence? Is it now obsolete?

[@chrishayes2540]

Yea

[@hyojinlee]

Thank you so much for this video! :)

[@nightfire4107]

Great Lecture!

[@BossChronicles]

Soo this is what law school is like ?

[@dobryj4elovek]

Eh.. maybe I didn’t get it but what is she talking about? The criminalization of marital rape in the United States started in the mid-1970s and by 1993 marital rape became a crime in all 50 states, under at least one section of the sexual offense codes.

[@AntiMasonic93]

Rape: Carnal knowledge of a woman by a man, not her husband, and without her effective consent. Hopefully, that is a coherent legal definition of rape.

[@SomeofThisSomeofThat]

"Men are always the perpetrators; women are always the victim and that remains empirically true today".... Empirically, her statement is not true. Women can be the perpetrators victimizing a man/boy...not AS often, but it still happens.

[@EMWUZX]

Not to mention the fact that men can rape men, and that fact is particularly salient when looking at prison statistics.

[@Midazolamb]

She said men are almost always the perpetrator and women are always the victim. She should have reworded and said men are almost always the perpetrator and either men or women are always the victim. Women, according to her don't commit rape enough to say they do, but that does not mean only women can be raped. One of my best friends was raped when he was 12 by a 40 year old dude so this stuff happens. I think they struggle even more to prove, especially with the common law definition, that a women could even rape a man. Remember, she said sometimes women won't fight back because they could get hurt more. Well, besides Ronda Rousey, what man could not 9 out of 10 times prevent a women from raping him with physical force? She could have had a weapon or he was unconscious but those would be entirely different questions to look into. I think when she talks about the importance of fighting back in the reformed definition of rape and it playing a role in evidence I think it could also play a role in helping us select what category of rape we could say this is. She says do we give a gentler rape from perhaps miscommunication or alcohol vs a brutal near death rape the same punishment? I think the degree of physical resistance could be used to help classify the severity of the rape and the appropriate punishment. I always wanted to go to law school but I would love to sit in on these classes though so interesting.

[@Danymity1]

If any of you idiots paid attention, the professor followed up her statement with: "Of course that remains empirically true today -we think." [We think] as in there's a probability of that fact being true, but not definitively. If you can't pay attention to a minute detail like that, stay the fuck out of law school!

[@katarinatrayvilla4260]

Agreed @Danymity !

[@pocu321]

Spoken like a true attorney. Give them the facts and be an asshole about it.

True nice people in helping don't understand NO means NO. In maters of reporting sexaul violence.

[@Stardusk.]

The fact that she is such a high tense person shows there exist influencer's causing her this tension. It is not a REMARK OF ADMIRATION TO THE HIGH QUALITY OF HER CHARACTER! The fact none of you think to help her slam hose negative elements down is proof you too are her problem. Human problem.

[@Stardusk.]

Aware of the American social definition of rape ""reforms""... Victimhood is a speciality of our own type's. Understanding is niche.

[@Stardusk.]

In regards to culpability. An out of date topic. You both have to confirm there is reasonable evidence to suggest that there was a viable potential that the crime lord's son could make a choice other than those that both comit a harm to another human being that is writen with in the legal definition of that government a crime. And two. There is not a reasonable doubt against self determinism like social determinism being the dominant han driver of personal choice. If both exist at the same time there must be a debate of culpability being even posible. If the later is only true then culpability must be forgoten. Plain sense meeting law first before.lawntries to meet plain sense after a legal clouding of decision maker's mind's. Basics.

[@Stardusk.]

So the crime of rape is so both people have terms each with their power to decide alone of their own if intercourse is sincerely a desired begining result. This is the sexaul autonomy you speak of in initiation alone. Right? A legal way of ensuring fair power terms to all people in America for physical sexaul intercourse enaction. Which later will bring proof there is no such lie for consent of sex in prison. Ever. The reality of housing conditions set autonomy.

[@Stardusk.]

Part of objective, and subjective truths meet at the exact field of crossing spherical lines betwixt each other. Meaning that conjectural opinion is creation with out proof. Not subjective opinion by the base of her, or his statement. Thanks. Help in understanding duress in acting out against society instead of the abuser raping the victim by doing actions such as jay-walking, or drug using with what eventual folows the begining of cries to other's for help. Which are never heard when seen. Apathy will be death.

[@DavidWilliams-th9pm]

utter bs . call her out. nope she will give you a F

[@mikes7339]

The camera is following her as she moves around, very distracting on video.

[@joycefan9698]

Mike S I agree. It would be much better if the camera just stays still, and she can just walk around in a section of the classroom within the range of the camera.
