Abstract
Title: M.L.S – Master of Legal Studies
Author: CeeCee Cascavita
Dual Degree Program: M.L.S
Specialty (if any): Business Law
Keywords: law, writing, presentations
Motivation: I pursued the M.L.S to improve my writing and public speaking skills.
Objectives: Develop a well-rounded education and a unique skill set through in-depth knowledge of business law. Expand my future career options through diversification of training.
Activities: I completed ten classes ranging in subject matter from private law to financial analysis.
Lessons Learned: I learned that law requires a substantial amount of writing more than in-class debates. Furthermore, I learned the importance of reading papers for main take-home points without getting lost in the weeds.
Summary: I plan to use the skills I gain in the M.L.S. to be more efficient in writing progress notes and reading updates in the current literature.
