Law is a fundamental aspect of our society. Some of the many functions of law include settling disputes, regulation of private agreements, and conduct within our community. Legal Studies presents students with basic and practical information about law. The primary goal of Legal Studies is for students to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to respond appropriately to law in their lives. Secondary and tertiary goals include creating as awareness of law related occupations and developing the confidence to participate in changing laws.
