College:	Woodbury College
Description:	The 30-credit Master of Science in Law (MSL) degree at Woodbury College helps non-lawyers gain legal knowledge to increase their effectiveness and advance their careers. In a business and professional climate highly regulated and rich in legal dimensions, the law is so important that everyone should understand it. Woodbury’s MSL degree helps professionals develop the skills to work confidently with the law and lawyers, and prevent needless litigation. The MSL also has special value for foreign attorneys and foreign business executives who wish to understand the American legal system and work with it effectively, and for paralegals seeking advanced training along with an advanced degree. The Elder Law concentration examines the rights senior citizens have including freedom from abuse, neglect and exploitation and the related regulatory schemes to protect these rights. Also examined are the programs established by federal and state governments to assist senior citizens, beginning with Social Security and Supplemental Social Security, and Medicare and Medicaid. Additionally, students will look at the various financial tools available to an individual planning for retirement and late life concerns, and the legal and regulatory dimensions of those tools.
