MJ April 2019 Info Session Flyer
The Master of Jurisprudence degree is a one-year program that is both an introduction to law in general and a specialization in specific legal interests. The M.J. program aims to enhance participants careers with a deeper understanding and knowledge of legal issues in their field, building on their qualifications in many different professional arenas. As a field, law has been largely limited to lawyers; however, one of the driving strengths of this program is that it opens the field of law to all backgrounds, careers, and aspirations. Law is increasingly applicable to a huge range of work that does not require a J.D. but does require a foundational understanding of law. Some examples include: policy (in human resources, in social justice advocacy, in politics, and etc.), regulations (in environmental work, in employment, in technology, etc.), and business (in finance, in corporate governance, in securities, etc.). For students who are interested in working in law-adjacent areas, we would love to invite them to our info session to meet our director, core faculty, and current students.
