Concentration [major] |
| Program Status: |
Hampshire's Law Program was founded in 1970 and offers
students the opportunity to design their own individualized programs of study in an
interdisciplinary setting. |
| Statement of Intellectual Structure: |
| The Law Program examines issues in law and society from a variety of
perspectives. The Law Program explores law, legal process, legal ideas, and events. The
activity of the program includes courses, independent studies, concentrations, Division
III projects, public events, field study support and supervision, and development of
library and other resources .... Students have designed concentrations which draw very
largely upon Law Program courses or which include some contribution of the Law Program to
their plan of study. These have included concentrations in law and education, prisons, law
and inequality, environmental law, juvenile courts ... The Law Program is not designed
as preparation for law school ... The Law Program as such is concerned only with [those
students who want to include the study of law in their undergraduate education]. |
