Fairhaven College of Interdiscplinary Studies

23-28 credits

Introduction/What is the Study of Law, Diversity & Justice?

The Law, Diversity & Justice Minor is an interdisciplinary course of study for students who are interested in law, diversity and access to the legal system for under-served communities. This minor, open to all Western students, is taught by a faculty that includes attorneys using law school texts. The minor builds the skills necessary for success after college: critical reading, writing, research, oral communication, and analytical ability. The curriculum also emphasizes a critical examination of how issues such as race, class, gender, sexual orientation and disability intersect with the legal system. The minor welcomes students who desire to effect change and who have the potential to act as leaders and role models in their communities using legal knowledge and processes.
