पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

The coursework in legal studies is designed to provide students with a broad understanding of the legal environment in which individuals, businesses, and the judiciary operate. This major should be attractive to those individuals (for example, managers, teachers, government employees, and legal assistants) who need additional legal knowledge to function more effectively. The program in legal studies does not prepare students for the practice of law, and its graduates are not eligible for admission to the bar. Upon completion of the program, students should: understand the fundamentals of legal reasoning and analysis; gain insight into some of the ethical dilemmas faced by lawyers and legal assistants; master the skills and knowledge necessary for understanding legal issues working from both theoretical and practical applications; learn the essential goals of legal researching, legal and logical reasoning and begin to develop legal writing skills; be able to apply the theory of legal research and writing to practical problems encountered in a legal environment; gain insight into the significant role that legal assistants have in the legal world and the practical skills necessary to function in it.
