POL 380 Preparing for Law School

This course is designed specifically for upperclassmen who may have some interest in the law.  Following a curriculum regularly used in the first year of law school, the course introduces students to the ideas and concepts that underlie the legal system in the United States.  Drawing on basic legal doctrines and principles, the course will examine the minimal social expectations embodied in the law, and discuss the nature of individual obligation and professional accountability in society.  Finally, the course will explore broader moral responsibilities by drawing upon biblical norms and values necessary for a vibrant, flourishing community.  (3 credits)
