Some students enter law school certain of their professional interests.
Other students are less sure, change their minds, or are unaware of all their options. The MSLA program, Master of Science in Legal Administration, offers a full curriculum that educates and trains students in the practical aspects of law practice management and judicial administration. MSLA courses are an excellent way to gain insight into the practical realities of the judicial process. Clerking and internship experiences during law school expose law students to these same realities but not all law students are able to have those experiences. Even clerking and internship experiences can be limited to research and writing and students still do not get a broad exposure to the nuts and bolts of case and client management or the inner workings of the courthouse, subjects covered extensively in the MSLA program.
