About the course

The Master of Studies in Law (MSL) is a very small program designed for established academics and scholars who work and write in a discipline related to law, and wish to acquire a knowledge of law in order to add a legal dimension to scholarship in their own discipline.

　　Applicants should hold a graduate degree, ideally a doctorate, from a recognized university and have demonstrated a high level of scholarship in a discipline related to law. Applicants often undertake this degree while on leave from their academic appointment.

　　MSL students choose their other courses from those available in the JD program, which are posted on-line in the summer. In certain cases, students may enroll in graduate courses within other faculties of the university. The selection of courses is subject to the approval of the Associate Dean of the Graduate Program.
