Legal Studies

Law is pervasive in all aspects of business and life. Legal Studies provides Drexel University students with the ability to recognize the influence of the law, understand its application and make informed and intelligent decisions regarding the course of action to take.

Students will learn the basics of various areas of the law and the legal environment of business and will learn to identify the factual situation in which to apply that law. They will be able to analyze the facts, determine which aspects of the law are pertinent, apply that to those facts, and draw a conclusion. Clarity of thought, reasoning and expression (both oral and written) are additional results of this process.

Emphasis is on critical thinking as a tool for problem solving, so that whatever the discipline, students will be able to identify and prevent possible problems or seek proper and timely assistance for critical decision making.
