COM201 Speech Communication 3 COM202 Business Communication 3 Pre-Law Studies Pre-law students at Concordia University should complete a baccalaureate degree. The Pre-Law Committee of the American Bar Association (ABA) Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar “does not recommend any particular group of undergraduate majors, or courses, that should be taken by those wishing to prepare for legal education; developing such a list is neither possible nor desirable” (http://www.abanet.org/legaled/prelaw/prep.html). In general, law schools look for broad preparation in the liberal arts and high levels of performance in challenging courses. They do not expect or desire to see a long list of law courses on undergraduate transcripts. The law schools assume that legal education is what they do best. The ABA does recommend a rigorous course of study emphasizing these skills and values: 1. Analysis and Problem Solving 2. Critical Reading Abilities 3. Writing 4. Oral Communication and Listening 5. General Research 6. Task Organization and Management 7. Serving Others and Promoting Justice 8. Knowledge, including a. A broad understanding of history, particularly American history, and the various factors (social, political, economic, and cultural) that have influenced the development of the pluralistic society that presently exists in the United States b. A fundamental understanding of political thought and theory, and of the contemporary American political system c. A basic understanding of ethical theory and theories of justice Pg. 45 of 118
