Coursework is concentrated in four areas of study: analytical reasoning, ethics, political and social philosophy, and philosophy of law. Together these courses provide both a rich theoretical context for understanding the aims and methods of law, normative systems, and action guidance, as well as written and verbal practice developing argumentation and advocacy skills.
