You don't need to be an aspiring lawyer to be affected by the laws that govern our state and nation. That's why Rutgers Law created the Undergraduate Legal Studies (ULS) program. Open to all undergraduate students, the courses are easily accessible, intellectually stimulating, and have real-world relevance beyond graduation. Explore the ULS program, and discover the many ways it can help you in your career and daily life.
For more information about the ULS program, please contact Judith Simms, pre-law advisor in Newark at judith.simms@rutgers.edu or Dr. Anthony Grasso, pre-law advisor in Camden, at agrasso@camden.rutgers.edu.
ULS courses are led by respected JD program faculty. The curriculum is thoughtfully crafted to be accessible to all, regardless of your background, and provides engaging content that's relevant to the real world. You should consider the ULS program if you:
*Want to gain a foundational understanding of the law to safeguard and assert your legal rights
*Are considering pre-law and want to explore it firsthand
During the 20th Century, as our society became increasingly complex, lawmakers responded by enacting a vast expansion of law and regulation. That law now pervades nearly all aspects of modern life. The ULS program aims to provide you with an understanding of:
-- The role of law in the U.S.
-- The legal system's structure and function
-- Legal knowledge to enhance professional and personal decision-making
-- How law impacts various aspects of life from business to individual rights
