The University of Wisconsin-Madison Legal Studies Program (LSP) major provides a liberal education across traditional disciplines, focusing on legal process, the law, legal institutions, and how they operate in society. The courses expose students to the many facets of the law as a social phenomenon - its evolution, its function, and its effects. This major is not a pre-law program, since students will be exposed to a broad social science perspective which is unlike the professional program encountered in law school. It is, however, a suitable program for pre-law students and for those who plan to concentrate in law-related study to prepare for public service careers or graduate training.
