Master in the Study of Law

The University of Georgia School of Law Master in the Study of Law (M.S.L.) program provides an unparalleled educational opportunity for anyone seeking a greater understanding of the law but not interested in becoming an attorney. We are proud to share that the M.S.L. can be completed at the School of Law's main campus in Athens, its facility in Atlanta, or a combination of the two locations.

In today’s highly regulated, legislated, and litigated work environments, the knowledge gained through the M.S.L. program is a worthwhile investment in your future. While receiving the degree does not make you eligible to take the bar exam or practice law, it provides an advantage that can be leveraged for success across a broad range of industries.

Graduates of the University of Georgia School of Law are prepared for success -- in courtrooms, boardrooms, or whatever other settings they choose. Opportunities abound for not only the traditional practice of law but for other endeavors requiring the benefits of insight and preparation provided by studying at a law school widely acknowledged as one of the best in the nation.

The quality of instruction distinguishes the University of Georgia School of Law from other outstanding law programs. A number of our faculty have been recognized for their teaching excellence by their peers in the academic community and the broader legal arena. Also, the credentials of the entering students each year are among the highest in the nation. Aided by an outstanding setting for the instruction and study of law, the classroom and extracurricular interaction you will have with your well-qualified classmates and our distinguished faculty will ensure the legal education you receive at UGA School of Law is second to none.
