Law PhD and Research Degrees

PhD in Law, SJD, JSD and other earned research doctorates with a documented law focus. Honorary doctorates are excluded.

PhD vs SJD/JSDLLM programs

A research degree is not a professional qualification. Admission normally requires a research proposal and a supervisor; confirm both with the university.

There is no price ranking: prices in different currencies and bases (per credit, per term, per year, whole program) are not comparable. Online programs are never counted as physically located in a state or city. Items marked Sponsored are paid placements; they never change recognition status, verification or order.
