Program Overview
The MSL degree is designed for those who want to equip themselves with a more sophisticated understanding of legal reasoning and doctrine.
The law permeates all aspects of contemporary life and has a tremendous impact across a wide array of professional and academic endeavors. As generations of law students have learned, the law is not merely what appears in case opinions, regulations and statues; it is a way of thinking. Indeed, learning to "think like a lawyer" is one of the primary objectives of graduate training in law.
