Course Overview

Why Choose Legal Studies?

The Legal Studies minor at Elmira College seeks to instill you with creative and critical thinking skills as applied to a wide range of legal topics. This wide array of course offerings is to prepare you for your first two years of law school or to enter the field as a para-practitioner immediately. To this end, from day one, you'll be pushed via the Socratic method to engage with the materials on a deeper level, sharpen your mind, and shape your character. In addition, when it comes time to take the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), you can take the exam on Elmira's campus.

What Legal Studies Will Teach You

Core classes include a survey of American law, criminal law, criminal procedure, constitutional law, business law, evidence, legal research, and writing. In addition, you can tailor your experience through numerous elective options – including participation in a mock trial.
