I checked out a couple British and Aussie Universities and thought I saw where a couple of them offered the SJD or the JSD by distance education. I checked with Deakin saw that the SJD degree was offered off campus. I checked again today and noted that it wasn't there. This frustrates me because I sent them about six emails expressing my interest in the SJD program and haven't heard from anyone there. I called some of the US representatives listed on their site and they knew absolutely nothing more than I know right now. I hope they haven't phased out that program. (1) Does anyone know of any other school that offers the research SJD or JSD or DJur degrees? (2) What British Insitution (to your knowledge) offers the shortest LL.M degree by research? Lastly, are there any regionally accredited US institutions that offer the SJD? If you are able to answer all or part of any of my questions, you have helped me tremendously.
British-American University (Not accredited, California Approved) http://www.british-american.edu/ University of London External Programmes (Meets GAAP) http://www.londonexternal.ac.uk/ A lot of folks on this forum would not recommend British-American University due to it's lack of approval. Because I am proposing it, that does NOT mean I approve or disapprove. I provided both of the links because I felt that catered (at least peripherally) to your question.
Thank You Thanks for your response. I am not interested in any JD programs at this point but rather graduate law degrees such as the DJur, SJD and or JSD. I want to get into a program where I can acquire the LL.M along the way.
There are no ABA schools in the U.S. that offer a D/L dissertation doctorate or research master's in law. There is one unaccredited but IMHO legitimate law school that offers the JSD by D/L, that being Northwestern California University School of Law www.nwculaw.edu There is ONE ABA school that offers a D/L LL.M. in International Taxation, St. Thomas. This is not a research degree. NWCU also offers the only D/L research LL.M. in the U.S.
