      SJD Programmes in Administrative Law Studies

      The abbreviation for a Doctor of Juridical Science, SJD, comes from its Latin name, Scientiae Juridicae Doctor. This advanced legal degree is meant for those who have completed a bachelor or master of law. Earning this degree requires a significant amount of time and research.

      So, what is an SJD in Administrative Law Studies, anyway? This degree is awarded after you complete enough study to write and defend a publication-quality dissertation. If you choose to study this subject, you won't go the usual route of sit-down classes. Instead, you will have an advisor who helps guide your studies. At some schools, this advisor is also called a Committee Chair, and he or she will be present for your dissertation defense.

      Some important life skills are necessary for this degree, including organization, endurance and reading comprehension. You can apply organization and endurance to your daily tasks to save time and be more efficient, while reading comprehension is useful when making a purchase requiring a written contract.

      An SJD takes many years to complete, and each year can add to the total cost. As a postgraduate degree, you may qualify for financial aid or a stipend. Contact schools offering your degree to find out more.

      An SJD is a versatile degree that can prepare you for a variety of jobs. One decision you will need to make is whether to look for a career in academia. As a legal PhD, this degree can qualify you to teach at the university level. An SJD can also qualify you for jobs outside academia, such as regulatory officer or general attorney.
