A number of the liberal arts disciplines in the College of Arts and Science can provide important perspectives on the subjects of law and the legal profession. The Law and Society minor offers undergraduates a meaningful cluster of courses in this area. The requirement of five courses allows this interdisciplinary minor to be substantial, and the inclusion of a core course enhances its coherence. In addition, the minor gives capable and ambitious students attractive opportunities to pursue advanced, specialized, or hands-on work. While prelaw students may well to take it, this minor is not aimed specifically at them.

A faculty executive committee oversees the Law and Society minor. It consists of Professors Jo Dixon (Sociology), Eric Feldman (Associate Director, Institute for Law and Society), David Greenberg (Sociology), Christine Harrington (Politics, and Director, Institute for Law and Society), Wolf Heydebrand (Sociology), and Dorothy Nelkin (Sociology and School of Law).

A graduate student serving as advisor to undergraduates is responsible for orienting students to the minor, organizing related lectures, updating course lists, directing exceptional students to suitable senior-year options, and the like.

For further information, consult the advisor to the minor in Law and Society in the College Advising Center, Room 905, Main Building, or send an e-mail to law.society.minor@nyu.edu.
