The primary focus of this legal education module, fifth of five to be integrated into an 11th grade American history course, is that the law is not an all powerful instrument of social control. Understandings, or objectives, consider the following: that the very nature of some social aims, such as brotherhood, places them beyond the limited capacity of law; how the capacity of law may be limited by lack of agreement that law should be used to further a particular social aim; that law is limited in furthering some legal aims because some of the aims of society conflict; how lack of knowledge about the cause or cure of a particular social problem may limit the capacity of law to alleviate the problem; how limits of technological capability may impose limits on the capacity of law; and ways in which the difficulty of accurately determining the facts serves to limit the capacity of law in the appropriate application of legal rules. The format of this module follows that described for the Module I, SO 007 673. (Author/KSM)
