Wellesley: Political Science 331: International Law: Syllabi and Library Reserve Lists, 1978-1980

Most of the series pertain to Professor Evans' long teaching career in the Political Science Department at Wellesley College. In addition, at the end of this section are 11 folders of items from the three international law courses she taught at the University of Puget Sound School of Law (1973-74).

Though materials from courses taught by Evans early in her career are lacking, a comprehensive body of materials exists for the three major courses she taught at Wellesley: International Law, The Criminal Justice System, and Law and the Administration of Justice (a course she developed as a result of her experience as a Harvard fellow, 1961-62). In addition, during the 1960s and early 1970s, she directed a seminar on human rights and one on the legal problems of the poor or minorities (for which students did research in neighborhood law offices and agencies in the city). The remaining Wellesley teaching materials are from three comparative government courses, an introductory law course, a not for credit course on current issues in American law, and independent studies. (Consult the Research/Writings Section for three casebooks Evans developed for use in her courses which she intended to publish.)

The Wellesley materials, which are arranged by course number, consist of lecture syllabi, reading lists, and outlines; lists of students in her classes; notes by Evans for her lectures and a case index; printed casebook materials consisting of required class readings; correspondence; examination questions; moot court materials; and student research papers. Similar types of materials comprise the University of Puget Sound section, with the addition of a report reflecting Evans' participation on the Library Committee at that institution. The Puget Sound course materials are arranged by course title.
