Experts teach at affordable Massachusetts School of Law
The Massachusetts School of Law’s mission is to provide an academically rigorous affordable legal education emphasizing ethics, advocacy, leadership, and professional skills. MSLAW provides this accessible, affordable legal education to tomorrow’s leaders in law, business, and technology who seek to contribute to their communities as advocates, lawyers, and leaders. Lawyers have an outsized influence in our society and MSLAW prepares its graduates to use their skills to help their clients and achieve the societal advancement that a law degree has traditionally provided.
To accomplish its mission, Massachusetts School of Law brings together a diverse group of scholars, judges, expert practitioners and other professionals to provide individuals from all backgrounds a rigorous, professionally advantageous, affordable legal education so that they can improve their lives and better serve their communities.
Our students choose MSLAW because it fits. It fits their budget, their busy lifestyles, their character, and their aspirations.
Affordable Tuition
We are the most affordable law school in New England. That, combined with the professional skill training built into our curriculum, allows MSLAW students to pursue rewarding job opportunities that students from other law schools (plagued with overwhelming debt) cannot.
No LSATS Required
We believe the true measure of a person’s capabilities to be a good lawyer cannot be measured solely by sterile statistical data. Instead, we require an interview, and the completion of our MSLAW Essay Aptitude Test. We’ll also ask to review records of your academic and work backgrounds.
Flexible Schedule
With both day and evening programs, MSLAW makes it possible for students to earn their degree while working full or part-time, juggling a family, or attending other outside obligations.
Teaching Difference
MSLAW professors don’t just teach, they’ve done it. Our faculty has extensive practice experience. You’ll be learning from their real-world experiences, something that’s markedly different from faculties at other law schools.
Professional Skills
MSLAW is dedicated to equipping each graduate with the professional skills necessary to succeed in the work force.
The MSLAW Experience
MSLAW promotes an atmosphere of support, openness, friendliness, and inclusiveness. Our faculty is fully invested in a culture that ensures our students truly enjoy their time here.
The Massachusetts School of Law does not discriminate against any person on any basis, including race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital or parental status, disability, source of income, or status as a Vietnam-era or disabled veteran, for admission to, access to, engagement in its programs and activities.

A man was shot and killed in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Saturday, July 4th.
It happened around 4:30 a.m. near Broadway Street and Norfolk Street, according to the Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan. A pedestrian found the man shot in the area around 5:30 a.m. and called 911.
First responders arrived to find that the man had died. He was identified as 32-year-old Xavier Bautista from Cambridge. The City of Cambridge said that Bautista worked in the Public Works Department and was off-duty at the time of the shooting. They described him as a “valued colleague” who was “beloved” by friends and family.
“We extend our deepest condolences to those who knew and loved him. This is a tremendous loss, and our entire City grieves alongside his family, friends, and coworkers,” the city said in a statement. “Gun violence has absolutely no place in our community. We are unwavering in our commitment to keeping Cambridge safe, and we will do everything in our power to support the investigation and ensure accountability.”
No arrests have been made. Cambridge Police, the Middlesex DA’s Office, and Massachusetts State Police are investigating.
“The City will continue to deploy every necessary resource and will fully support our law enforcement partners as they work to determine the circumstances associated with the shooting and to bring justice to those affected,” Cambridge said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Cambridge Police at 617-349-3300 or submit an anonymous tip.

One day before the Fourth of July, police in Yarmouth, Massachusetts say American flags were “ripped down” from a highway overpass that’s named after a two-time Purple Heart recipient.
Yarmouth police said an officer noticed the vandalism Friday on the Lance Corporal William Joseph Donovan Jr. Memorial Bridge over Route 6.
“The officer found American flags forcefully ripped from the fencing,” police said. “Their grommets had been torn out, and flags were ripped apart at the seams left hanging.”
Lance Cpl. William Joseph Donovan Jr., a Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School graduate, was awarded the Purple Heart twice for injuries sustained in Operation Enduring Freedom. After returning home, he died in a motorcycle crash at 27 years old.
Yarmouth police are investigating the incident and urge anyone with information to contact them.
This isn’t the first time that flags on the bridge were damaged. Last summer, they were similarly torn down before being replaced in a rededication ceremony.
The community has already stepped up to restore the patriotic display that was vandalized on Friday.
State Rep. Steve Xiarhos of Barnstable, who lost his son Marine Cpl. Nick Xiarhos to a roadside bomb in Afghanistan, said “Cape Cod sent a message tonight.”
“You can tear down flags, but you cannot tear down the spirit of this community. If anything, you made people stronger,” Xiarhos posted to Facebook. “You brought people together from all over Cape Cod, united by love of country and respect for those who have served.”
