What concentration in ILR?

The Law and Society and Inequality Studies minors are not that intensive. L and S requires that you take four courses, one in each of four categories, and attend four events before graduation. Inequality requires that you take one core class (Controversies about Inequality), then one overview course, and then four courses.
For me, it is not that much more work because some of the classes I can use for both (like Problems of Contemporary Society), the classes can be used toward/complement my ILR degree, and they are courses I would like to take anyway. So I am just getting credit and recognition (on the transcript at least) for work I am doing. In addition, I am interested in poverty, the growing inequality, and law school, so these minors complement my interests as well.
I am not too familiar with the requirements for the AEM major, so I cannot judge that. As for double majoring, I cannot judge that because being in ILR, there is only one major: ILR. So, if I wanted to major in Sociology, Economics, or Government in CAS or PAM in HumEC, I do not believe I can. Personally finding info on minors can be hard since there is not one full list of minors. But, I do know the AEM minors are on the website.
