Admission and Academics
Students at Massachusetts School of Law learn to practice law through classroom instruction, simulated client experiences, and numerous live client experiences. MSL does not require the LSAT for admission. However, MSL administers its own examination (MSLAT) similar to the LSAT, requires letters of recommendations, and interviews every applicant for admission. Graduates are eligible to take the Massachusetts and Connecticut Bar Examinations immediately upon graduation. After passing either of those bar exams, graduates are then eligible to take the bar exam in NH, WI, VT, ME, CA, DC, MD, and WV. Graduates may also seek admission to the bars of many other states after practicing for 3–5 years (see local rules for bar admission).

Famous quotes containing the words admission and/or academics:
“Powerful, yes, that is the word that I constantly rolled on my tongue; I dreamed of absolute power, the kind that forces to kneel, that forces the enemy to capitulate, finally converting him, and the more the enemy is blind, cruel, sure of himself, buried in his conviction, the more his admission proclaims the royalty of he who has brought on his defeat.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
