MSL Criminal Justice Specialization

The Criminal Justice specialization increases MSL students’ understanding of criminal liability and how the justice system operates. If you are interested in pursuing or moving up in a career that intersects with the criminal justice system – such as police officer, corrections officer, probation officer, investigator, or court administrator – you will benefit from specialized knowledge of criminal justice gained as a UC Law SF MSL student. The Institute for Criminal Justice provides a wide variety of research and educational opportunities for MSL students interested in local, state, and national issues of criminal justice.
