Spring Class Announcement: Ling 450
Ling 450 ("Forensic Speaker Identification"):  This is a great course for pre-Law students to take.  Studies have shown that students who have studied Linguistics have an advantage when taking the LSAT.  This is largely due to the analytic tools that we provide to our students, which also serve them well in Law School.
There are no prerequisites for this course.
Any questions about this course can be emailed to Professor Sandy Disner, at sdisner@usc.edu
