PhD Programs in Professional Law

Professional law courses give students a deeper knowledge of the legal system. Courses may consider how laws have been interpreted at different points in history and a study of the differing legal theories of thought.

The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
