Honors Experience: Departmental Honors Course: PSC 492 (Law)
Posted by Nigel on April 6, 2009 in Honors Experiences
Prof. Stephen Halpern wants all interesested Honors Scholars to know that next semester (Fall 2009) he will be teaching PSC 492 “Pre Law Honors Seminar” on Mondays from 2:30 to 5:20 pm in 502 Park.
The course “Enables a select number of upper-class political science and legal studies majors who plan to go to law school to delve deeply into an important issue in the American legal system. Provides an opportunity for students to read cases and secondary literature on the selected topic, and develop legal research and library skills by writing a paper on a subject related to the seminar’s main focus.”
He states this “seminar is intended to provide students with a brief introduction into several of the major subjects studied in the first year of law school: civil procedure; torts; contracts; constitutional laws; and trial procedure.”
Students should forward to Dr. Halpern (shalpern@buffalo.edu) a transcript, résumé and brief statement as to why they would like to take the seminar. They should do so by the end of April. Once permission is granted either Dr. Halpern or Nigel (nmarrine@buffalo.edu) can add you into the class.
This course will count as an Honors Experience as a result of it being a Departmental Honors Course.
