Dear Sirs:
Legg Mason Global Trust, Inc. ("Fund") is a corporation organized
under the laws of the State of Maryland on December 31, 1992. We
understand that the Fund is about to file Post-Effective Amendment No. 7
to its Registration Statement on Form N-1A for the purpose of registering
additional shares of common stock of its series, the Legg Mason Global
Government Trust ("Portfolio"), under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended ("1933 Act"), pursuant to Section 24(e)(1) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act").
We have, as counsel, participated in various corporate and other
proceedings relating to the Fund. We have examined copies either
certified or otherwise proved to be genuine, of the Articles of
Incorporation and By-Laws of the Fund and minutes of the meetings of the
board of directors and other documents relating to its organization and
operation, and we are generally familiar with its corporate affairs.
Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the shares of common
stock of the Portfolio currently being registered pursuant to Section
24(e)(1) as reflected in Post-Effective Amendment No. 7 may be sold in
accordance with the Fund's Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws and, when
so sold, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable. We
express no opinion as to compliance with the 1933 Act, the 1940 Act or
applicable state securities laws in connection with the sales of shares of
common stock.
We hereby consent to this opinion accompanying Post-Effective
Amendment No. 7 which you are about to file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Sincerely yours,
KIRKPATRICK & LOCKHART
/s/ Arthur C. Delibert
