Legal Studies ProgramErik Larson (Co-Director, Sociology), Patrick Schmidt (Co-Director, Political Science), Martin Gunderson (Philosophy), Norman Rosenberg (History), William Wilcox (Philosophy) This minor is available to students in any major. The curriculum brings together perspectives from the humanities and social sciences, including philosophy, sociology, political science, and history, among others. Rather than studying law as doctrine (a set of rules to learn and use), the curriculum examines law as a phenomenon in a variety of contexts. It is designed to give students a broad, yet structured, academic grounding in interdisciplinary approaches, within the liberal arts, to the study of law. Requirements1. With the assistance of a legal studies advisor from the legal studies steering committee, students will select six courses from those approved by the legal studies steering committee for their minor in legal studies. No more than two courses under the 400 level may be selected from any single department. It is vital to consult with an advisor affiliated with legal studies since the program will be offering a variety of special topics courses that count toward the minor. 2. One of the six required courses may be an internship related to the field of legal studies. This internship must be selected in consultation with the director or one of the affiliated faculty listed above. Topics Courses194, 294, 394, 494 Law related topics courses that count toward the minor are occasionally offered. These courses allow students to explore special issues in legal studies from inter-disciplinary perspectives. Typically, these courses will be cross-listed. To be announced at registration.
