8th Annual Legal Masters Conference
The 8th Annual Legal Masters Conference will be held March 10-12, 2025. We look forward to welcoming you in person this spring to St. Mary’s University School of Law in beautiful San Antonio, Texas! We are excited to host you and have included an optional Excursion Day (Sunday, March 9) with multiple options for excursions for those who want to take advantage of the City on the weekend.
This annual gathering of law school administrators, faculty and deans features a conference agenda especially curated for professionals who work with or support legal masters programs for non-lawyers. This conference was started at St. Mary’s School of Law in 2017 and focuses on the spirit of sharing and innovation. As such we welcome professionals who wish to learn more about these programs and invite collaboration.
