Legal Studies - Milligan College

Legal Studies from Milligan College is a Campus Bachelor Law degree that prepares you for a Legal career. Why Legal Studies? Many students are surprised to learn that the American Bar Association does not recommend a particular major and that there really is no such thing as a \"pre-law\" major. Like nearly all colleges and universities, Milligan College offers no specific major in pre-law. However, Milligan's Legal Studies program is one step which can be taken in preparation toward a successful career in law. While no particular major can be recommended, most students considering law school wish to have exposure to foundational legal subjects for two main reasons. First, students want to be sure that going to law school would be the right decision for them. Many students come to college have a generalized, sometimes idealized, desire to attend law school, but lack a clear understanding as to what the study of law entails. Milligan\\\'s Legal Studies program is designed to help students ascertain whether a legal career is right for them. This is important, because law school is three difficult years, and students (and parents) ought to be confident that law school is the right decision before investing time, talent and money. The second reason students seek a \\\"legal foundation\\\" in college, is to prepare academically for law school and their professional careers. While Milligan does not attempt to fully teach students \\\"the law\\\" (that is left to law schools), we do seek to lay a solid foundation. Therefore, the legal courses within Milligan's Legal Studies program are designed to enhance your knowledge of the American legal system, the legal profession and foundational legal topics (such as Constitutional Law, Legal Research and Criminal Law) . Embracing a Christian world-view, the Legal Studies Program at Milligan will help you develop an appreciation for the unique responsibility Christian legal professionals have in society.
