FROM THE TEACHER

If you like a good John Grisham book, or perhaps C.S.I. or the Law and Order TV series, this course is for you! Perhaps you’ve been told, “You should be a lawyer when you grow up!” or maybe, you’re interested in a career in the legal field and want to explore further about the profession. Intro to Legal Studies will help you decide if law school may be in your future! It’s a great course that highlights the purpose and function of law in our society. Grab your legal pad and gavel, and I’ll see you in class!
