About the program

In the new era, legal education has become necessary due to the close connection between citizens and the government, and due to the increased formal regulation of many business and civic activities. These changes require legal understanding and expertise.

Today, managers of every level are required to have a basic understanding of the law. Many personal and business actions are subjective to regulation, which emphasizes the need for close recognition of the law. In addition, the legal approach allows holders of degrees in the social sciences, humanities, finance, and accounting to develop multidisciplinary observation and expertise both in their areas of practice and in their personal lives.
