Law and Society Minor -- Free Pizza Info Session & Extended Application Deadline

The Law and Society minor is for upper-level undergraduate students with 30 credits, 15 of which must have been completed on campus.  The minor appeals to students from all majors. It features an interdisciplinary and experiential approach to law in the tradition of law and society scholarship. While much of this scholarship is oriented in the social sciences, the field runs the gamut from traditional studies of judicial behavior to post-modern examinations of legal discourse.  Possible topics include anything from liberal conceptions of equality and human rights to critical race theories of intersectionality.  Students can be expected to gain critical thinking, writing and oral presentation skills along with the ability to map legal environments across disciplines and methods.  The Law and Society Minor is designed for high achieving and self-motivated students. Participants will be selected on a competitive basis. The application deadline for Fall 2014 has been extended to Sunday, March 16, 2014. For more information and to apply, please visit http://mlaw.umd.edu/about/law-and-society-minor/.  We also encourage you to join us for pizza and drinks on Thursday, March 6th from 2:30-4:30 p.m. in the Cumberland Hall conference room for a Q&A about the minor.
