Social Science: Law, Society and Justice ProfileIn keeping with the Marianopolis vision and mission that pledges the College to preparecitizens who will make “positive contributions as citizens of a complex and changingworld”, this Profile addresses fundamental issues such as why laws differ from place toplace, and how this sheds light on the connection between justice and the law.

Closely associated with theMarianopolis Law and Social Justice Certificate, the Law, Society and Justice Profilestimulates critical thinking about the dynamic interaction between the law and historical,political, social and economic forces.
