The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the demand for professionals with MSL and similar degrees in law for non-lawyers is growing 15% through 2026. As law firms seek to increase efficiency, they are hiring more non-lawyer roles. Large companies are also expanding their in-house legal teams with non-lawyers rather than hiring additional attorneys. In these cases, the advanced knowledge and skill from a non-JD graduate degree (such as a MSL) benefit both the career professional and the company.<\/p><p>Having familiarity with our legal system and applicable laws can help you:<\/p><ul><li>Increase your competitiveness as a job applicant by holding a master's degree in legal studies<\/li><li>Add value to your current role through greater understanding of how the law intersects with your responsibilities<\/li><li>Enhance your resume by developing a specialization in compliance, business law, or entertainment law<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n        <\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c2b1165 background-white elementor-widget elementor-widget-content_block elh-el content_block\" data-id=\"c2b1165\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;title_tag&quot;:&quot;H2&quot;,&quot;slidein_title_tag&quot;:&quot;H2&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"content_block.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\n        <div class=\"block-content-wrapper \" style=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-content-wrap mb-25\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"header-wrap \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<H2 class=\"title \">\t\t\t\t\t<span>Possible Career Pathways<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/H2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"description-wrapper  mt-20 mb-30\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Due to how the law intersects with every industry in one way or another, it is very likely there is some aspect of your current role that could be enhanced with a MSL degree.

Please note that no graduate degree can guarantee a successful career, and the JD (rather than the MSL) degree would be advisable for those seeking to practice law.<\/p><p>Moreover, a degree from a top school like USC can help open new opportunities in your profession.

Knowing those goals will help you understand how our MSL courses might help you achieve those goals and whether the degree will open new opportunities for you.<\/p><p>For example, someone working in the entertainment industry could obtain a MSL degree to better understand the legal aspects of their job responsibilities. This might be in the case of someone overseeing contracts or managing the intellectual property portfolio for a media company.<\/p><p>In other cases, someone who is working as a paralegal may be looking to find a higher-paying paralegal role at a larger law firm. A MSL with a specialization in the same areas as the target firm could help an applicant stand out and command a higher salary.<\/p><p>Our advisors are happy to speak with you to discuss whether the MSL might benefit your career path. Ultimately, there are many ways in which the MSL degree might help you shape or recreate your career, and the specific path for how it can help will be up to you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n        <\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15cac19 background-white elementor-widget elementor-widget-content_block elh-el content_block\" data-id=\"15cac19\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;title_tag&quot;:&quot;H2&quot;,&quot;slidein_title_tag&quot;:&quot;H2&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"content_block.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\n        <div class=\"block-content-wrapper \" style=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-content-wrap mb-25\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"header-wrap \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<H2 class=\"title \">\t\t\t\t\t<span>Taking the Next Step<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/H2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"description-wrapper  mt-20 mb-30\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>The MSL is tailored for working professionals and those with other obligations so you can obtain your degree on a part-time basis.
