The Curricular Committee on Law and Society administers a cross-disciplinary Law and Society major, fosters the general study of issues regarding law and society throughout the college, and encourages public presentations by visiting scholars, jurists, and lawyers. The recommended core law and society courses and research seminars, and the law-related courses, explore philosophical, political, economic, historical, sociological, ethical, scientific, and religious issues that are central to understanding the role of law and legal institutions in society. Core law and society courses are selected with the following objectives in mind: 1) center on law and legal institutions directly; 2) explore the historical, philosophical, and ethical underpinnings of the development of law, thought, and institutions; and/or 3) provide the analytic skills necessary to understand the logic and bases of legal thinking as a language in legal institutions, the broader society, and the profession of law. Core research seminars and private reading/research courses provide to students forums to undertake research papers which meet the above objectives. Law-related courses have sections within them that meet at least one of the three objectives that are listed above or provide students an opportunity to write a term paper in which the scholarly issues of the course may be applied to legal institutions, thought, and/or the logic of legal inquiry. Major. The major consists of at least 30 hours of courses; no more than 8 hours may be taken at the introductory level; no more than 15 hours may be taken away from campus. A minimum of four core courses (at least 12 hours) and at least three additional law-related or core courses (at least 9 hours) are required in the major. In addition, at least one core research seminar, and a private reading/research course on a law-related topic, or a second core research seminar in place of the private reading/research course, is required of all majors. Finally, no more than 15 of the first 30 hours of the major may be taken in one department. Core courses or seminars must be completed in at least three departments. Students must have two advisors from different departments and complete a major registration form, including a rationale for the major, which is submitted to Ronald Kahn, Chair, Law and Society Curricular Committee, for approval. Minor. Students may pursue a minor in Law and Society by completing at least 15 hours of work. At least three core courses (in at least two departments) and two additional law-related and/or core courses must be completed as part of the minor. Students wishing to discuss the Law and Society major, to secure a major registration form, a list of current curricular committee members, or to gain approval for a minor, please contact Ronald Kahn, Chair, Law and Society Curricular Committee, Department of Politics, Rice 232.
