Global Management (Global Legal Studies), MGM

The global legal studies concentration within the MGM program is designed for students who desire to work in areas that require knowledge of global legal issues but may not want to be lawyers. Other students may use this concentration as an introduction to legal studies before pursuing law school. Offered in collaboration with the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, this program provides students with transdisciplinary global management and legal expertise that opens doors in multiple sectors within organizations operating around the world. The first step in understanding and applying laws is developing an understanding of basic legal principles and then using those principles to identify and analyze relevant legal issues. Through the foundational courses of the Master of Global Management with a concentration in global legal studies, students master relevant legal principles while gaining legal analysis skills, mainly through case briefings, such as identifying a particular case's legal issue, articulating the legal rule, discussing the court's analysis and concluding. These legal analysis skills are tested on final exams in the foundational courses through hypothetical fact scenarios. Students gain a strong understanding of legal principles --- the basis of legal analysis --- and the ability to apply them in their field of interest.
