The 30-credit Master of Law program caters to both U.S. and internationally educated students without a prior law degree who want U.S. legal education without pursuing a full Juris Doctor. This program benefits professionals entering law-adjacent fields, graduate students seeking complementary legal knowledge for dual degrees, and individuals strengthening their qualifications before JD applications.
Case Western Reserve University School of Law provides two types of Master of Law Programs, achievable through full-time study in nine months or part-time over four years, with dual-degree options available. Classes are primarily daytime offerings at the law school, with some late-afternoon, evening, and summer courses. Admission remains highly selective with limited annual enrollment.
