Municipal Law Program

The Municipal Law Program (MLP) provides a foundational understanding of the legislative framework in which municipalities operate. It introduces legal concepts and legal matters related to municipal liabilities, contracts, and land use. 

MLP can be taken on its own or as part of our Diploma in Municipal Administration (DMA). Each of the four courses in MLP leads to an individual certificate of completion. Therefore, you can take whichever courses meet your needs (see Program Overview below for the list of courses). However, if you are pursuing the DMA, you must complete all four courses.
