| "At Brandeis, the Legal Studies Program is an interdisciplinary one,
which presents law as a subject of liberal inquiry, rather than professional practice. It
examines law from many perspectives: historical, political, economic, anthropological,
sociological, philosophical, psychological, scientific, and literary. Through courses and
internships in public service law and health care organizations, the Program combines
"real world" experiential education with academic methods and insights. It is
open to students with any departmental concentration. Legal Studies courses are also open
to non-concentrators. In addition to its general concentration, the Program offers a
Law, Medicine and Health Policy Track that examines the interaction between law and the
ethical, political, social and economic factors that affect American health care. This
track introduces premedical, pre-law and other undergraduates to the wide diversity of
professionals, institutions and populations that affect and are served by the American
health care system." |
