Legal Literacy and Communication Skills covers key concepts, including:
- Understanding the roles of legislatures, agencies, and courts;
- Recognizing and using basic legal vocabulary in context;
- Reading a variety of legal documents efficiently and effectively;
- Writing law-related reports and correspondence;
- Reading and understanding the function of primary sources of law, including statutes, regulations, and cases;
