| Statement of Intellectual Structure: |
| "The interdisciplinary legal studies minor is designed to show
students how the various disciplines in the humanities and social sciences treat questions
of law and justice. The minor is not a pre-law preparatory program or paralegal training.
Its goal is to cross disciplines so that students can understand how the humanities and
social sciences illuminate the principles, practices, and policies of the law." |
