Smith Barney Multiple Discipline Trust
125 Broad Street
New York, New York 10004

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Smith Barney Multiple Discipline Trust (the
"Trust"), a business trust organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, in connection with the establishment of the Trust and the
preparation of a Registration Statement on Form N-1A as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on June 26, 2002 (the
"Registration Statement"). The Registration Statement covers the offer and sale
of an indefinite number of shares of beneficial interest of each of eight series
of the Trust, Multiple Discipline Fund -- All Cap Growth and Value, Multiple
Discipline Fund -- Large Cap Growth and Value, Multiple Discipline Fund --
Global All Cap Growth and Value, Multiple Discipline Fund -- Balanced All Cap
Growth and Value, Multiple Discipline Portfolio -- All Cap Growth and Value,
Multiple Discipline Portfolio -- Large Cap Growth and Value, Multiple Discipline
Portfolio -- Global All Cap Growth and Value and Multiple Discipline Portfolio
-- Balanced All Cap Growth and Value, in each case par value $.001 per share
(collectively, the "Shares").

We have examined copies of the Trust's Master Trust Agreement, the Trust's
By-Laws, the Trust's Registration Statement, as amended, on Form N-1A,
Securities Act File No. 333-91278 and Investment Company Act File No. 811-21128,
and all resolutions adopted by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") on
June 24, 2002, June 25, 2002 and September 4, 2002, consents of the Board and
other records, documents and papers that we have deemed necessary for the
purpose of this opinion.

In our examination of material, we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures and the conformity to original documents of all copies submitted to
us. As to various questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon
statements and certificates of officers and representatives of the Trust and
others.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when duly sold,
issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Trust's Master Trust
Agreement, the Trust's By-Laws and the Registration Statement, will be validly
issued and will be fully paid and non-assessable shares of beneficial interest
of the Trust, except that, as set forth in the Registration Statement,



shareholders of the Trust may under certain circumstances be held personally
liable for its obligations.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement, to the reference to us in the statement of additional
information included as part of the Registration Statement and to the filing of
this opinion as an exhibit to any application made by or on behalf of the Trust
or any distributor or dealer in connection with the registration or
qualification of the Trust or the Shares under the securities laws of any state
or other jurisdiction.

We are members of the Bar of the State of New York only and do not opine as to
the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York and
the laws of the United States, and the opinions set forth above are,
accordingly, limited to the laws of those jurisdictions. As to matters involving
the application of the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, we have relied
solely on the opinion of Goodwin Procter LLP, and our opinion is subject to the
assumptions and limitations set forth therein.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Willkie Farr & Gallagher
