Overview
Students in the Legal Studies major at Manhattanville College learn to read difficult legal material, including cases and statutes, as well as works of history and philosophy. Students also learn to write legal briefs, analyze complex arguments, and write effective and persuasive essays.
There are in-class oral arguments and mock trial exercises which give the students a chance to simulate the roles of judges, jurors, witnesses, and attorneys in the daily practice of law. The program provides a superb preparation for law school and for participation in any law-related profession or graduate education.
