Overview
Students minoring in Law and Society are required to successfully complete (with a letter grade of B- or better, effective January 2020) 5 approved courses selected from at least 3 different categories, with no more than 2 courses in any one category and no more than 2 courses in any one academic department (NOTE: ILR courses are all considered to be one department). Cross-listed courses can be counted as any of their cross listings, regardless of which department code you are officially enrolled.
**PHIL 2990: Foundations of Law & Society course may be taken by any undergraduate student whether they are registered for the minor or just interested in learning more. This course may be counted toward any category of your choosing in the minor. This course is a "wild card." You can learn more about the course through the class roster.
At the discretion of the Law & Society directors, permission may be granted to substitute an appropriate course that has been:
- accepted from another educational institution toward the student's degree program (1 course maximum)
- taken as part of a semester abroad program
- recently added to the Cornell curriculum
Petitions for course substitutions must be submitted prior to the student's final semester using the Course Petition Form.
The list below includes all the courses that have been officially approved to count toward Law & Society. The course codes are listed with the parent department first followed by any cross listings. For course information, please consult the appropriate department web site or the University's online Courses of Study.
Courses marked as (Inactive) are not currently and/or have not been offered for at least the past 3 years as of Fall 2021. However, if you took this course in a previous semester, you may still count it toward your course requirements. Courses previously designated as ILRCB have been changed to ILRLR.
