a.  Rationale for creation, revision, or  deletion:

 

Over time, new courses have been offered, in a number of departments, which deserve to be included as electives for the Legal Studies Minor.  We reviewed these courses, and include those here which have substantial legal studies content (more than half of the course) and appear appropriate for the minor

 

 

 

 

 

 

b.  Summary of program:

 

 

Add to the list of electives ion the Legal Studies Minor:

 

                CRJU/LEST 475  Social Science and the Law

 

                EDUC 275   240  Professional Issues:  Philosophical and Legal Perspectives

 

                FINC 418 Seminar in Corporate Governance

 

                LEST/LING 385 Language and the Law:  Court Interpretation

 

                LEST/LING 390 Language, Power, and the Law

 

                MAST 674 Legal Aspects of the Coastal Zone

 

                UAPP 6—Administrative Law and Policy

                LEST/UAPP 646               

               (Corrections above by K.Helsel-Spry per Ken Koford 1/15/02)

 

Note: adding these courses as Legal Studies electives has been discussed with each faculty member, and in most cases was proposed by the relevant faculty member  (Hans, Blacker, Elson, Schweda-Nicholson, Firestone, Ware).
