In April 2019 Peter Tritt former Director, Asia-Pacific, The College of Law, writing in the Law Gazette, Singapore said of the Master Of Legal Business: 

The College’s new Master of Legal Business programme aims to provide lawyers with a post-graduate equivalent of an MBA. Its list of subjects includes topics such as: Building trusted client relationships; Innovation and entrepreneurship; Operational excellence; Finance and accounting; Aligning people; Leading self and teams; Business strategy; Creating and sharing value; Digitisation and Digitalisation; and Managing the impact of technology.

The College is best known as a provider of the compulsory Practical Legal Training (PLT) program. It has never in its history of close to 50 years  gained  a reputation for providing instruction that is commercially useful. 

The College and the NSW Law Society are in fact relying on their standing as officers of the court to sell a degree which they claim is equal to a MBA. Being officers of  the court they need to provide potential customers evidence of their claim.
