In addition to a strong grounding in substantive areas of law, Duke Law offers a number of opportunities to critically assess the role of law in society. Courses range from overviews of legal theory and explorations of legal philosophy, law and literature, and legal history to intensive seminars on critical race theory and sexuality and law. The objective of the doctoral programme “Theoretical Law – Law and Legal Theory in the European Context” is to enable specialists and academics with a scientific approach to solving theoretical and practical questions in one or more scientific areas of law to become scientifically creative and to study. Other interdisciplinary symposia at New York University include the Colloquium on Law, Economics and Politics, led by eminent political scientist John Ferejohn and eminent legal economist Lewis Kornhauser, and the Colloquium on Legal History, the oldest legal history workshop in the country. This seminar explores the intersection between literature and law, with a particular focus on race and gender. Through literature and a few films, the seminar explores the role of law in conflict structure, personal relationships, social hierarchy and social change in terms of privilege, perspective and voice. Possible authors include Margaret Atwood, James Baldwin, Octavia Butler, Ava DuVernay, Lorraine Hansberry, Ursula Hegi, Kazuo Ishiguro, Nella Larsen, Gabriel García Márquez, Toni Morrison, Colson Whitehead, and Richard Wright. A graduate of the doctoral programme “Theoretical Law – Law and Legal Theory in the European Context”, he broadened and deepened his qualifications in a corresponding scientific field of law. A graduate is qualified to carry out scientific work and contribute to the development of the respective field of law. Emphasis is placed on scientific and research-oriented consultations with the respective supervisor.
The main objective of the study is that a graduate has written a thesis in which he has applied a scientific methodology and included complex analyses of practical knowledge and experience, as well as the derivation of theoretical conclusions and principles from it. On the occasion of the centenary of the ratification of the 19th century. Under the amendment, women held the position of editors of the major law journals of the 16 high-ranking law schools in the Americas. To commemorate this historic moment, Duke hosted a one-day conference in Washington, D.C., attended by all editors, prominent academics and practitioners, deans of Chicago, NYU, Virginia, Duke, and UCLA law schools, and Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The 16 EICs also worked on a special joint publication entitled Women & Law, a collection of 14 essays written by prominent women in the legal community. A one-year series at Duke Law, sponsored by the Dean`s Office, examined race in the context of the six core subjects of the first-year program: tort, criminal law, civil procedure, contracts, property law, and constitutional law. Each discussion in the “Race and the 1L Curriculum” webinar series was moderated by a faculty researcher who teaches a first-year course in the area of law under study. Academics and others involved in research and legal measures that address racial inequalities in how these legal bodies are taught or formulated, or how they manifest themselves in practice. The course is organized around a number of essential questions, all of which are crucial to how we discuss law. The most important schools of legal and constitutional interpretation are examined. For example, we will discuss formalism and textualism, purposivism, originalism, process theory, economic analysis, realism and legal pluralism. Each of these theories has an answer to the question, how should a legal text be interpreted correctly? What types or forms of reasoning are permitted or mandatory in our legal tradition beyond the text? But each of these demands depends on deeper questions.
Harvard law students learn many different ideas and competing explanations of the concept of law as taught by some of America`s most accomplished philosophers and legal theorists in fields such as natural law, legal positivism, legal realism, critical legal studies, and much more. A legal education is a rigorous intellectual experience – in addition to learning to think like a lawyer, you will also develop an in-depth historical and theoretical understanding of the law and its development. UW Law School`s law school recently decided to grant admission to the doctorate for two years while the program goes through a review and examination. Our PhD program has a long and rich history. We take its importance in the legal field and our commitment to student preparation very seriously. As with all of our programs, we need to review the program regularly to determine if it meets the needs of students and prepares them to advance legal practice, scholarship, and education in local and global communities.

Edited by Jordi Ferrer Beltrán & Carmen Vázquez Cambrige University Press (2022) See chapter The Doctor of Laws program is designed to prepare young women graduates for careers as lawyers and teachers through a doctoral program aimed at producing in-depth academic research and writing skills under the strict supervision of a three-member thesis committee.
Unlike programs designed for students who want to learn about law from a disciplinary perspective of the social sciences or humanities, the Doctor of Laws is designed for students who wish to pursue advanced studies of law from a law perspective. This programme offers budding scholars the opportunity to contribute to the development of law as an academic field, and it offers an alternative path into law alongside existing pathways such as scholarships, graduate degrees in related fields, legal practice, and internships.
