Psychology and Law Concentration

The field of Psychology & Law involves the application of scientific and professional aspects of psychology to issues of law and the legal system. This field encompasses a number of different areas --research, forensic clinical practice, public policy, and teaching among them-and brings together many specialty areas within the field of psychology, such as developmental, social, cognitive, clinical, and neuropsychology. Students in this concentration will participate in at least three experiential learning venues: laboratory research, a community-based internship, and study tours to Hennepin County Courts.
