The PhD in Law provides rigorous and advanced training for outstanding graduate students who have already obtained a Master of Laws (LLM) degree or its equivalent. It is a research-intensive degree, culminating in a dissertation, that prepares graduates for opportunities in law teaching, legal research, policy development, public and governmental service, and the practice of law.
The PhD includes course work and comprehensive exams that provide students with a broad theoretical base from which to undertake their dissertations. Students then work closely with a supervisory committee to produce a major piece of original legal scholarship.
