This program provides comprehensive education in both law and political science. You'll cultivate critical thinking, reflection, and analytical abilities that are fundamental to both fields. While highlighting their common ground, you'll also examine the distinctions between legal and political methodologies. The curriculum fosters an understanding of law's role within broader social and political frameworks.
At Essex, we go beyond traditional legal education. We inspire students to champion justice while providing the tools to make meaningful change, regardless of their chosen profession.
From day one, we encourage strategic thinking about career development. During your first two years, alongside core legal studies, you'll complete career planning modules to assess your strengths, understand employer expectations across various sectors, and build professional skills.
Our annual law career fair connects students with legal firms and training providers. Alumni have established careers not only in law but also in diverse fields including finance, government, education, social services, and law enforcement.
