Congratulations to recent History graduate Carmine Bennett on being accepted to UB’s master’s program in Legal Studies!
Carmine Bennett graduated with her History B.A. this December.
The Master of Arts in Legal Studies (formerly Legal and Ethical Studies) program provides coursework in law, the legal system, legal research and methods, and the ethical and historical underpinnings of law. It can be used as a stepping stone to law school or to advance in the many law-related careers that do not require a law degree.
Graduates of the program have found jobs working for the courts (as clerks and commissioners), government contractors (in compliance), law firms (as legal assistants and paralegals), nonprofit organizations (as intake managers and legal coordinators), companies (in risk management and human resources), and in a wide variety of other jobs in government and business. Graduates also sometimes use the program to improve their preparation and credentials for law school.
The History faculty and the Division of Legal, Ethical and Historical Studies is proud of our graduate, and happy to report that she will continue to work part-time as an assistant in the division.
