carefully with an awareness of the importance of facts and a capacity for
deductive and inductive reasoning and critical analysis.
Law School Admissions Services Bulletins and packets,
including information concerning admissions and sample questions from Law
School Tests, may be obtained from the Pre-Law Advisor in the Department
of History or Government.
Although there is no prescribed pre-law curriculum, the
Department recommends a degree in Government, Criminal Justice, or History,
each of which provides a valuable Liberal Arts background for the study
of law.
The Government Major (emphasis in Legal Studies) provides
a strong foundation for those interested in pursuing law school or other
law-related graduate programs, as well as those who wish to move directly
into the paralegal field. Legal Studies students will take courses that
develop their abilities to think critically, write and speak effectively,
and solve problems. They will also have a broad choice of electives dealing
with the law-making process, public policy, and the historical context
of our legal system. Of special value are opportunities to intern with
law firms, corporate legal departments, and government agencies. The major
in Government (Legal Studies) consists of 30 semester hours as outlined
above. Texas Woman’s University also offers regular core Legal Studies
