What’s the Difference Between an M.S.L. and M.L.S.?
The Master of Studies in Law (M.S.L.) and Master of Legal Studies (M.LS.) are both intended for individuals who do not have a law degree. They are different names for the same program depending on what designation is used by the university.
Notably, in New York State, the M.L.S. degree is officially recognized only for a Master of Library Science and not for any other degree, such as a Master of Legal Studies.
