Requirements

 

The curriculum is designed to be flexible and give students choice in structuring their studies to meet their needs and interests. By linking the Legal Education major with one of the CPCS concentrations, students can tailor their major to a particular area of law or advocacy. Likewise, students majoring in other programs at the College often select the Legal Education concentration to help them develop advocacy skills that will complement their work in areas such as human services, gerontology or labor.

Students who select Legal Education must complete:

• Concepts of Justice
• Legal Advocacy
• Legal Reasoning and Argument
• Legal Studies I and II
• Advanced Legal Advocacy

Students in other majors who select the Legal Education concentration must complete:

• Concepts of Justice or Legal Studies I
• Legal Advocacy
• Legal Reasoning & Argument
• Advanced Legal Advocacy

 

Like all programs at CPCS, the Legal Education programs provide students with many exciting learning options, including community-based learning projects, internships, and small, interactive classroom experiences.
