Learn From U. of I.’s Legal Scholars and Practitioners

Online Law Program Faculty

Our MSL faculty includes professors who've clerked for Supreme Court justices, won national awards for scholarship on securities enforcement and corporate governance, and built innovation offices at the SEC and CFTC. You'll study under scholars and practitioners who don't just teach the law—they've shaped it, advised on it, and applied it at the highest levels.
