This certificate enables students to engage and evaluate legal discourse and argument as informed citizens. Students will build a foundational understanding of the legal field through a blend of government; business, organizations and society; American studies; economics; English; and philosophy. Drawing upon exploration of legal doctrines, reasoning, and policies in both public and private law, students will critically examine legal controversies from literary, economic, philosophic, and cultural perspectives. In addition to their course work, students will participate in F&M’s Mock Trial Program, through which students gain hands-on experience, bolster their understanding of the justice system and hone their persuasion skills through team competition.
