About

The Ph.D. in Law degree program is designed to prepare J.D. graduates for careers as legal scholars and teachers. The Ph.D. in Law program is directed at students who wish to pursue advanced studies in law from the perspective of law. This program offers young scholars an opportunity to contribute to the development of law as an academic field, and it provides an alternate pathway into law teaching alongside existing routes such as fellowships, advanced degrees in cognate fields, legal practice, and clerkships.
