The concentration in Justice and Law Studies consists of six courses: an introductory course, four electives, and a senior seminar. JLST does not crosslist courses; enroll with a department prefix. Courses listed as JLST electives in the “Courses” link are not exhaustive; students who have taken or are considering taking any course with a substantial law and/or justice component may ask the program chair whether it qualifies as a JLST elective. These may include courses taken while studying abroad.
Declaring the concentration may be done at any time.
Spring 2025 Declaration Period: You may declare the concentration directly, without arranging an advising meeting, if you know more or less how to proceed: in other words, a formal meeting and sign-off is not required. If you would, however, find it useful to discuss possible sets of classes, please get in touch with Professor Cheryl Shanks, [email protected], 311 Hollander Hall.
