Program Details

Law and Society School: York University Faculty: Arts Degree: Bachelor ; Honours Field of Study: Legal Studies, General Sociology Description: Law is one of the most significant expressions of a modern society's social and political development. In recent years, social scientists from many disciplines have analyzed the interplay between law and society. We live in a period of widespread public interest in law that arises from a concern with problems of social justice, social control and deviance. The academic disciplines - anthropology, economics, history, philosophy, political science, psychology, sociology - have increasingly focused on such issues as the nature and origin of law; law-making and law breaking; rights and obligations; freedom and responsibility. These are matters of increasing concern to teachers, social workers, businesspersons, doctors and public servants whose professional responsibilities demand a knowledge of the relationship of law to their own fields. Please note: Law and Society is not a pre-law preparatory program. Website: Law and Society at York University Course Based?
