Master of Law - US and Global Legal Studies in Cleveland United States | Case Western Reserve University

Our 30-credit Master of Laws program caters to both U.S. and international students without a prior law degree who want U.S. legal education without pursuing a full Juris Doctor. This program benefits professionals in law-adjacent fields who don't require JD certification, graduate students seeking legal knowledge for dual-degree programs without intending to practice law, and individuals aiming to strengthen their qualifications before JD program applications.

Law school courses are scheduled primarily during daytime hours, with some late-afternoon, evening, and summer classes available.
