The online Master of Legal Studies (MLS) program is designed for professionals who can benefit from legal training at work but do not wish to become practicing attorneys. A fundamental understanding of the United States legal system creates opportunities for growth in a variety of careers. Almost all industries work with legal procedure in some capacity — from risk management to government regulation. It can be beneficial for professionals to develop a background in law to make better decisions on the job and protect themselves and their organization from legal issues.
Candidates for an MLS include, but are not limited to:
- Paralegals
- Business executives
- Social workers
- Government employees
- Compliance specialists
- Lobbyists
- Health-care professionals
- Human resource professionals

The Washington University MLS program has obtained acquiescence by the American Bar Association (ABA). Find out more about acquiescence on the ABA website. In addition, Washington University in St. Louis has been accredited by The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) since 1913. Learn about the University’s HLC accreditation.
Curriculum Offered
On Campus

Designed and led by the School of Law’s distinguished faculty, the online MLS program delivers the same rigorous curriculum as the on-campus program and explores the application of U.S. law across a broad spectrum of today’s business topics, including contracts, intellectual property, health law and corporate compliance. Classes are taught using the Socratic method, encouraging students to discuss and debate course topics and explore subjects such as civil procedure, constitutional law, trial advocacy, torts and negotiations.
Every MLS student completes two required foundational legal courses and then selects from a variety of elective courses to align with their desired career trajectory. The skills-based curriculum prepares students to draft legal documents, conduct legal research and analyze new laws and regulations. Explore the course catalog to learn more about each elective.

Students also take a 1-credit elective course on campus as well as observe live court hearings and meet with federal and state judges.
Faculty-Guided Research
This 3-credit research course, supervised by expert faculty, allows students to meet with professors regularly to develop a thesis paper on a tax-related topic that interests them or aligns with their career goals.

These databases will not only help students with their legal writing and research but also give them access to real-world legal materials including cases, statutes, public records and law journals. Learn more about the student experience.
Distinguished Faculty

Classes in our online MLS program are kept small, and professors encourage diversity of thought. Learn more about our faculty.
