Bachelors in Law and Society

Law frames the way we live as a society. It helps to resolve socially contentious issues while guiding those policies that affect our social institutions and relationships. Society in turn, plays a role in how we make, interpret and experience the law and related social policies and practices. The Law and Society Program at Oberlin examines this dynamic relationship from a liberal arts perspective to prepare students to pursue a law degree or work in law-adjacent fields, whether as policy advocates, journalists or educators.
