Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is furnished in connection
with the notice (the "Notice") to be filed by
CMA Multi-State Municipal Series Trust, a
Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust"),
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Notice is being filed to make
definite the registration under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, of 16,727,722,962
shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.10
per share, of the Trust (the "Shares") which
were sold during the Trust's fiscal year
ended March 31, 1996. The shares comprise
527,733,700 shares of CMA Arizona Municipal
Money Fund (the "Arizona Fund"),
4,397,873,087 shares of CMA California
Municipal Money Fund (the "California Fund"),
1,135,984,616 shares of CMA Connecticut
Municipal Money Fund (the "Connecticut Fund"),
659,752,882 shares of CMA Masachusetts
Municipal Money Fund (the "Massachusetts
Fund"), 1,050,313,495 shares of CMA Michigan
Municipal Money Fund (the "Michigan Fund"),
1,937,805,407 shares of CMA New Jersey
Municipal Money Fund (the "New Jersey Fund"),

Municipal Money Fund (the "New York Fund"),

1,486,225,661 shares of CMA Pennsylvania
Municipal Money Fund (the "Pennsylvania
Fund"). These funds comprise all of the currently
outstanding series of the Trust.
As counsel for the Trust, we are familiar
with the proceedings taken by it in connection
with the authorization, issuance and sale of
the Shares. In addition, we have examined and
are familiar with the Declaration of Trust of the
Trust, the By-Laws of the Trust and such other
documents as we have deemed relevant to the
matters referred to in this opinion.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the
opinion that the Shares were legally issued,
fully paid and non-assessable, except that
shareholders of the Trust may under certain
circumstances be held personally liable for the
Trust's obligations.
In rendering this opinion, we have relied as
to matters of Massachusetts law upon an opinion
of Bingham, Dana & Gould, dated May 17, 1996,
rendered to the Trust.
We hereby consent to the filing of this
opinion with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as an attachment to the Notice.
Very truly yours,
