Doctor in the Science of Law (J.S.D.)

Deadline for applications is January 1 each year.

An advanced graduate programme in law leading to the J.S.D. (Juris Scientiae Doctor) degree is offered to a very limited number of highly qualified candidates by Dalhousie University Schulich School of Law. Applicants who meet the admission requirements are invited to submit a detailed outline of their proposed thesis and of their research plans. Topics will be limited to those areas of law for which faculty and library resources will support original research work. It is expected that such resources will normally be available in seven subject areas:

  1. Marine Law
  2. Environmental Law
  3. International Law
  4. Comparative Law
  5. Public Law/Jurisprudence
  6. Health Law
  7. Law and Technology
