Since 1972, the Master of Science in Legal Administration (MSLA) Program has been educating students on the management and operation of law firms, courts, and legal organizations. The MSLA degree provides students with the business knowledge and skills to run a law firm, court, or legal organization, both nationally and internationally.
To accommodate the needs of our students, courses are offered both online and on-campus, 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 the MSLA program at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law 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 ONLINE and ON-CAMPUS programs:
- Master of Science in Legal Administration
- Law Firm Administration Concentration Video Link
- Court Administration Concentration Video Link
- International Court Administration Concentration Video Link

Quotes
"Once I started exploring my opportunities for graduate schools in business management and legal fields, I felt that the MSLA program fit my needs and interests the most. The program is the perfect combination of business subjects designed for the legal field. The professors provide a great amount of information via case studies and actual examples from their extensive work experiences. After graduating from the MSLA program, I had great networking opportunities to pursue my future career options, and the knowledge needed to excel at my job."
