Note: Applications for the Spring 2025 term and later can be submitted after September 15th.

Our curriculum is designed for students and professionals coming from disciplines outside of the law who wish to complement their academic and professional pursuits with an understanding of the law that impacts their fields. Grounding students with a foundation in U.S Law, the Master in Law (ML) curriculum provides opportunities to develop specialized legal knowledge. ML degree and certificate students create distinctive curricular paths when combining uniquely designed ML courses with classes from the upper-level JD curriculum. Others are welcome to participate in our courses on an ad hoc or elective basis, provided they have completed or are currently enrolled in a bachelor’s degree program.
