WELCOME TO THE SCHOOL OF LAW

The University is not currently enrolling new learners in the School of Law. Welcome to the School of Law at California Southern University! CalSouthern’s School of Law offers four diverse law degrees: Master of Science in Law (MSL), Master of Science in Dispute Resolution (MSDR), Juris Doctor (JD), and Master of Laws (LLM). The School of Law delivers a comprehensive legal education in a rich and dynamic academic distance-learning environment that fosters a scholarly and respectful exchange of ideas between experienced faculty mentors and learners. Faculty mentors in the School of Law are committed to providing learners a thorough understanding of the law while promoting analytical and critical thinking, service to society, and an appreciation for legal, social, ethical, and professional issues.

Whether learners seek an understanding of the United States law and legal system but do not intend to practice law, seek knowledge on advanced topics in specialized areas of law, seek to develop and hone dispute resolution skills, or intend to practice law as an attorney, the four degree programs within the School of Law are intellectually stimulating and challenging programs that combine academic study, writing, and analytic and practical skills training to provide learners with the theory, tools, and tactics they need for success. Welcome to the CalSouthern family! We look forward to assisting you and celebrating your success!

Warm Regards,

Ellie D. Shefi, JD, Esq. Dean, School of Law
