PhD Programs in Pre-Law

What is Pre-Law?
Students wishing to become a lawyer might consider a pre-law field of study. It’s not necessary to have a pre-law degree in order to become a lawyer, but many students feel this can give them an edge when applying to law school. A pre-law degree can be in any field, but many students choose to major in political science, economics, or business.

Why is studying Pre-Law important?
Pre-Law is important because it gives students the opportunity to learn about law, and how to become a lawyer. It also allows students to decide if they want to pursue a career in law.

What can you study in Pre-Law?
You can study many different things in pre-law, including law itself, court proceedings, legal writing, and more. This allows students to gain a broad understanding of the legal profession, and decide if it’s the right career path for them.

A PhD in Law is also known as a Doctorate in Law (abbreviated as LLD or LD) and is an advanced post-graduate degree involving extensive research as well as pursuing an academic approach within the field of law.
