Students in the legal studies program at MSU gain hands-on experience and contribute to a variety of community projects including staffing pro se divorce clinics, wills clinics, prescription drug program enrollment for seniors and working with elementary, middle and high school students to conduct mock trials. All legal study professors at MSU are licensed practicing attorneys who have supervised paralegals in their law practices. Attorney-professors are accessible inside and outside of the classroom and provide students face-to-face opportunities to work with clients.
Graduates from the legal studies program pursue careers in the following settings:
- Law offices
- Courts
- Government (local, state and federal)
- Non-profits
- Corporations (hospitals, insurance companies, corporate risk assessment departments and trust and collection departments of banks and businesses)
Earning a degree in legal studies also prepares students for entrance into graduate and law schools. The Department of History, Philosophy, Religion and Legal Studies at MSU also offers pre-law advising.
