Attached is a copy of our Legal Studies Minor at Southwest Mo State
University. There are four core courses -- 3 legal environment courses and
legal research/writing. Then there are electives, mainly from our dept. and
political science. The e-mail did not copy well so I will also try to
attach a more readable copy.
