General Certificate in Law and Social Thought - Glendon

Version française


The Philosophy Department offers a Certificate in Law and Social Thought.

This program places the study of law in the context of a liberal arts education; that is, the law will be studied within both a humanities and a social science context. Some course offerings emphasize the moral and philosophical dimensions that inform legal life and link the study of law with social and political thought. Others focus on legal institutions: how they yield regulation and socially sanctioned force, how they interact with society.

Program Requirements

There are two required courses for the certificate:
