The Master of Jurisprudence (M.J.) program is designed for non-lawyers who seek a deeper knowledge of law to respond to legal issues in their professional life. Students interested in careers with a law-related dimension will build a practical and marketable knowledge base of law, enhancing their qualifications in many different professional arenas. These areas include employment and human resources, environmental regulation, health, intellectual property, sustainable development, technology, tax, and indigenous rights. While these areas reflect particular strengths within the UW School of Law, students can tailor the curriculum to meet their individual professional goals.
The M.J. provides a competitive edge for entering the job market and could be a great option if you seek to further cultivate your interest in the law after your time as an undergrad.
Along with fellow M.J. students, in most courses students sit next to J.D., LL.M. and graduate students from other schools and learn from the experience each person brings. Joining the UW School of Law community also brings connections with alumni and faculty, as well as the benefits of a larger university network in a vibrant cultural epicenter.
