How does a law elective compare to courses like criminal justice or business law?

Some Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses, such as criminal justice and business law, focus on law enforcement and corporate law, respectively. 

Law electives, on the other hand, typically cover the judicial system and courts; constitutional, criminal, and civil law; and legal careers. 

If your school already offers related courses or CTE pathway programs, it’s a good idea to coordinate with colleagues to ensure your curriculum complements rather than duplicates existing offerings.
