Laws can protect our freedoms, but may also impose limits on our actions and opportunities. Laws can protect us, or confine and oppress us. Laws can help us address fundamental challenges we face as a society, or impose obstacles in our attempts to deal with these challenges.&nbsp;<strong>How will you address today\u2019s legal and social challenges?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legal Studies strives to understand the nature and impact of law, legal actors and institutions integrating questions and methods drawn from a number of different disciplinary fields including communications, criminology, cultural studies, history, law, legal anthropology, political economy, political theory, and sociology. Legal Studies focuses on the complex nature of the interaction between law and other social fields to foster inquiry into and understanding of the dynamics of law, including its rules, agents, institutions and power structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are you a prospective student?<\/strong> Head over to our <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/future-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Future Students<\/a> page to learn more about programs and student experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hear more from Professor Philip Kaisary and 4th year student Kyra about the many ways as to how you can diversify your Law BA!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"cu-section cu-section--white w-screen ml-offset-center px-4 md:px-6 lg:px-12\"><div class=\"cu-max-w-child-5xl space-y-6 md:space-y-10   cu-prose-first-last\"><figure class=\"cu-figure not-prose  max-w-full\"><div class=\"not-prose overflow-hidden bg-white shadow-lg max-w-full rounded-none\"><div class=\"relative none overflow-hidden w-full pb-[56.25%] border border-cu-black-100\"><iframe title=\"Videos Embed\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zlH9M0ONGpU\" class=\"cu-embed-iframe\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Current Undergraduate Students The Undergraduate Students portal is designed to help you plan your courses, student experience and post-graduation life.
