Law and Society

Laws affect each and everyone of us, impacting both our public and private lives from birth until our death. This course has been designed to provide each student with a basic knowledge and understanding of how the law controls each person's actions, what rights the individual has under our laws, and how laws are introduced and changed. Law is a system of social thought and behavior and provides the framework within which our disputes are resolved. Law and Society will examine the impact that constitutional law, administrative law, criminal law, civil law, and family law have on the individual. Same as CJUS 102; students may not receive credit for both. 5 lecture hours. Satisfies social science distribution area B requirement or as a specified elective in the AA degree.
