The major will provide students with all of the general skills, such as reading, writing, communication, and critical thinking, that will serve them well as they study law. It will also focus on a series of topics crucial to the study of law: general areas such as jurisprudence, ethics, legal history, law and economics, criminology, international law, and global human rights; and in specific areas such as media law, family law, legal communication, and the Alabama and US Constitutions.
