Queen's Law Graduate Diploma in Legal Services Management

Due to the uncertain times we are in, we have had to postpone LSM fall 2020 courses. If you have any questions please reach out to us at lawmanagement.ca.

Are law schools preparing students for the business of law?

A study conducted by fSquared Marketing found that 81% of law and articling students see business training as important to their success as lawyers. Yet only 1.7% of these students believed their school provided adequate training in the business of the law.

The Graduate Diploma in Legal Services Management bridges this gap by preparing young lawyers with the business skills needed to succeed in real-world practice.

Hear what students are saying about LSM 810: Financial Literacy for Lawyers!

“Regardless of where I end up, being able to analyze and understand the financial operations of a business – even on a general level – is a valuable skill. Business is relevant to many different areas of law, regardless of whether it falls under the umbrella of “corporate law” or not. I am confident that the skills I have developed in this course will serve me well going forward, regardless of where my career takes me.”
- Brennan C., Queen's Law

"LSM 820 gave me many ideas to help run my own practice. As a sole practitioner, I was drawn to this course; especially as marketing is an integral part of running a successful legal service. I believe experiencing this course while at the precipice of an evolving new world has given me an edge over competitors. Professor Mike Ross is straightforward, intellectual, structured, and passionate about business. I have really enjoyed Mike's vigour in his presentation and the realistic examples he brings to this course. "
