Law Education
The focus of our Law Education program is to educate students about the law that is of practical use in everyday life. This class is designed to provide the student with
1.) an understanding of student's and others legal rights and responsibilities,
2.) background knowledge of everyday legal problems faced by most people
3.) to develop the ability to analyze, evaluate, and resolve legal disputes in the best way possible
