Since 1972, the Master of Science in Legal Administration (MSLA) Program has been educating students on managing and operating a law firm, court, or legal organization. The MSLA degree provides students with business knowledge, skills, and abilities to run a law firm, court, or legal organization.
To accommodate the needs of our students, courses are offered both online and in-class, with all in-class courses scheduled in the evening. Students may attend full-time, and graduate in one year; or part-time, and graduate in two to four years. Our students come from diverse backgrounds and have varying interests: some are working professionals, while others are students interested in entering the field of legal administration.
The mission of MSLA at the University of Denver is to improve the quality of justice worldwide through the education and training of the profession that manages, operates, and leads courts, law firms, and legal organizations. To this end, we offer the following programs:

Quotes
"I once listened to an attorney speak about the pitfalls of starting his own law firm. He lamented losing hundreds of thousands of dollars due to inefficiencies in his management practices. He then gave examples of things he would have done differently. Everything he listed is taught in the MSLA program. Had he spent a little extra time and money by enrolling in the MSLA program he could have saved himself a lot of time and money."
