Law is a broad field that encompasses the system of rules set by a society to regulate behavior along with the enforcement of those rules. Law students study all of a society’s rules, but usually specialize their law practice upon graduation into a particular area like civil or criminal law.

A Doctor of Juridical Science, or SJD, is the highest degree offered to those studying law and is pursued by exemplary students who have already completed a professional Doctor of Jurisprudence, or JD, and a Masters of Law.
