A juris doctor (JD) is the most common law degree earned by lawyers, but a masters of law helps prepare students for a broader range of careers, such as positions in the following areas:

• Government
• Social Work
• Human Services
• Public Policy

Here are some examples of online courses in a masters of law program:

• Legal Processes
• Advocacy and Negotiation
• Legal Writing
• Social Equality
• Public Interest Law

"Intense" is how the US bureau of Labor Statistics describes competition for law school admission. Boosting your education requirements with an online masters of law is a great way to compete against colleagues in the industry.
