Journalism-Law Programs
As lawyers, graduates will have the skills to communicate more effectively in the practice of law, regardless of their field, as well as unique qualifications and insights for media and communications-related practices.

Today's media often provides the public with an unrestricted view of legal proceedings. Beyond everyday news, consider scandals involving celebrities, corporate executives and sports figures, or high-profile government proceedings, or complex business mergers and acquisitions. The use of anonymous sources, access to information, copyrights and trademarks, First Amendment rights, libel, privacy and similar concerns must often be considered in covering these stories. Journalists are called upon to explain the legal issues to readers, viewers and listeners. Lawyers debate their cases in courtrooms and in the court of public opinion.
The graduate journalism-law options available at the University of Missouri will prepare you for specialty careers in media and law. Missouri School of Journalism alumni are considered among the world's leading reporters and editors, and the National Freedom of Information Coalition is headquartered at the School. Graduates of the School of Law serve as judges at all levels, and the Center for Dispute Resolution is considered the nation's best.
