Loyola Marymount Political Science Department Possible Careers Examples of Careers Some of today's Political Science majors will be tomorrow's lawyers and judges. Others will be in businessbecause corporations need people who understand the workings of politics, government, and other forms of social organization. If the past is any guide, there will also be political science graduates in marketing research, law enforcement, public relations, labor relations, foreign service, teaching, and social work. Writers, editors, government officials at all levels, real estate brokers, lobbyists, insurance underwriters, human resources managers (what companies used to call "personnel directors") will include a number of political science graduates. Political Science is a great major for future politiciansboth full-time professionals and citizen activists. Many politicians are lawyers, and a political science major offers an excellent preparation for law school. Why? First, because in Liberal Arts you develop important intellectual tools that law schools prize. Second, because the political science major who becomes a lawyer understands where the law fits in the broader American system. Political science offers ways of understanding how attorneys, judges, and civil and criminal systems fit together and work. Future lawyer or not, if you are a political science major who gets involved in politics, you'll find that an LMU education has prepared you to understand how the system works and how to get things done. You will also be well prepared to think about how things should be doneto tell the difference between good and bad policies and choices, and how to work for positive change.

Some majors pre-law students have chosen in the past are: English, business, engineering, history, philosophy, psychology and political science. Alfred University graduates have attended law school at the following: Harvard University, Cornell University, Georgetown University, Case Western, University of Richmond, University of Colorado, University of Buffalo and SUNY Albany. Students who indicate an interest in pre-law are assigned to one of the four pre-law advisors in addition to their major advisor.

The course will be offered during the 1997-98 academic year and taught by Dr. Sam Powell, chair of the philosophy and religion department. Faculty from the natural sciences departments will participate as guest lecturers. Powell participated in a workshop recently sponsored by the Templeton Foundation that addressed current issues relating to science and religion.

There were 7 workshops, conferences, or related events during the period (e.g., Public Forum on Capital Punishment, with the National Judicial College a co-sponsor). During the period the Justice Center published and circulated to the University, the community, and the state 15 newsletters; 7 year-end reports; 10 project reports; and three issues of the Grant Sawyer Center Occasional Paper Series. The Justice Center sponsored a substantial grant (co-PIs James Richardson and Gerald Ginsburg) funded by the State Justice Institute, which was combined with funding from the National Judicial College, the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges, the Federal Judicial Center, and ourselves to design and implement a national study of judges' preparation for decisions about scientific evidence in the courtroom. This research produced numerous presentations at scientific meetings and publications. The findings were used also to create a benchbook for judges which has had major impact. The Director of the Judicial Studies Program is a prolific scholar, with XX books, XX articles in refereed journals, and XX presentations during the last five years.
