This book offers a critical and insightful study of various
doctoral programs in law, focusing on the English-speaking world.
That the structures of doctoral degree programs in law differ
between the United States and much of the Commonwealth are an issue
that requires no debate. What is missing in the discourse, however,
is a narrative on how these programs are structured and how they
compare. This book attempts to fill that gap. A key objective of
the study is to provide an international and comparative analysis
of the efficacy of the American- and British-styled models of law
doctorates. In so doing, it provides a conceptual and theoretical
framework for the development of effective doctoral programs in
law, contending that the defining characteristic of a doctorate is
that it recognizes an independent contribution to the subject
rather than the completion of taught coursework, however, advanced.
The book goes on to examine the concept of a higher doctorate in
law as a possible means of strengthening the concept of a law
doctorate in legal academia. This book was written against the
backdrop of the recently adopted Global Convention on the
Recognition of Qualifications concerning higher education. It was
adopted by the UNESCO General Conference in Paris on November 25,
2019, making it the first United Nations treaty on higher education
with a global scope. The target audience of the book includes
scholars in higher education; scholars in legal education; law
school deans and administrators; law professors and students;
Ministries of Higher Education in countries around the globe;
accrediting agencies for doctoral studies; bar admission and legal
education societies; and UNESCO and other international
organizations.
