The Law, Letters, and Society Student Board is comprised of 10-12 current students from diverse backgrounds, academic and professional interests in the major. The Student Board represents the voice of the students majoring in LLSO. It meets once per quarter to promote various initiatives of the program ranging from organizing public talks to serving as a resource for prospective students. Applications to join the Board open each Spring Quarter.
Hear what the student board has to say about the LLSO Major:
"The LLSO major offers an amazing level of flexibility to your interdisciplinary interests, while still providing access and structure to a cohesive intellectual experience." - Jack V.
"LLSO provides the perfect environment to rigorously explore the gravity of law and legal systems without necessitating a future career in law. It is a distinctive program that knits together a variety of disciplines, with classes that tackle subjects ranging from case law to the American classics. Its multidisciplinary nature allows students to delve into a variety of interests while pursuing a challenging course of study." - Chloe B.
"I think the camaraderie of the major is next to none. You really get to know everyone, which helps you understand their point of view better than a larger or impersonal major would allow you to. The program introduces you not only to others who you can relate to academically or based on your goals, but challenges the assumptions you have about education and about the reasoning others employ. The major truly enriched my understanding of those around me by illuminating things I had not previously seen and explaining viewpoints which at one point seemed inconceivable to me." - Kegan W.
"My friend and I often joke that the major should really be called Law, Letters, _______, and Society; the major really is a bit of a choose your own adventure. I would strongly encourage anyone with a defined academic interest, and an interest in the law, to apply. Your ability to create a schedule that allows you to really interrogate the questions that fascinate you is enormous. I highly recommend." - Peter B.
