Minor in Legal Studies
The minor in allows students to focus their study toward their interest in the law while recognizing the interdisciplinary character of the American Bar Association’s . The minor can easily be paired with just about any major at UNA. In addition to the three required courses, students are able to select electives within law-related fields such as business law, criminal law, and civil law, among others. The minor provides a mentoring environment likely to lead to a higher rate of success on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), better preparation for law school in terms of writing and legal reasoning, and a clearer understanding for admittance to a law school.
