The Case for an Ethics of Care

Core thesis:

  • Current legal pedagogy divorces law from human impact
  • Patriarchal legal framework = rules/order/dominance/possession
  • Ethics of Care (Hooks, Gilligan) + Indigenous environmental ethics = alternative constitutional foundation
  • This isn't just reform — it's reconstituting the legal system's philosophical base
