Definition of M.s.l.

A M.S.L. is a master's degree offered by some law schools to students who wish to study the law but do not want to become attorneys. The degree has several variants, including a Master of Studies in Law degree (at the University of Toronto and at the University of Pittsburgh), for example, or a Master in the Study of Law (at Ohio State).
