Ringkasan program

This concentration is concerned with more than the abstract analysis of court decisions, statutes, and legal procedures. Rather, the concentration focuses on the interactions and interconnections between law and the broader social world. Specific topics of study include political influences on judicial decision-making, the evolution of the right to privacy, environmental law, plea bargaining, police discretion, the role and function of juries, the legal environment of business, the juvenile justice system, disputes over constitutional interpretation, and the philosophical underpinnings of commitment to free expression. It offers an excellent course of study for students contemplating law school or work in a law-related field. In particular, taking courses such as constitutional law I and II, logic, argumentation and advocacy, and philosophy of law will make the transition to law school much easier.
