Law and Social Thought Program
Law and Social Thought is an undergraduate interdisciplinary program at UToledo that places students in classrooms across campus — and in some cases off campus — on the argument that law should be studied in the context of the liberal arts: students learn to appreciate the connections between law and society, politics, language, history and power.
