About the Legal Studies Minor

Legal phenomena extend throughout many contemporary political systems, playing an important role in shaping the conduct of life for both individuals and institutions. Thiel’s minor emphasizes the forces that shape law and the ways law has been used and understood by a variety of peoples in differing historical circumstances. Political, sociological, historical, and philosophical approaches to legal phenomena are included in the program.

The Legal Studies minor is open to all students in any major or concentration. This minor is not a program in “prelaw” or professional preparation, rather it presents an opportunity to study one of the most important aspects of contemporary human society.
