The Law & Society Honours BA and minor, and LY courses are only available at the Brantford Campus.
With contemporary studies, the Law and Society program will allow students to explore the
relationships between laws, courts, and other social institutions, such as
economics, morality, politics, and common sense. The program combines both
theoretical and applied analyses of law and legal process so that you will
emerge with a deep understanding of the role of law in our day-to-day lives.
