Course of Study
Writing the dissertation is the only task in the LLD course.
Writing a law dissertation begins with selecting a clear, well-researched legal topic and formulating a strong research question or hypothesis. The process involves conducting an in-depth analysis of legal sources, case law, and academic literature while structuring the dissertation into key sections such as the introduction, literature review, methodology, analysis, and conclusion.
The Doctor of Laws (LLD) in detail:
Study content:
The Doctor of Laws (LLD) program is a highly esteemed academic degree designed for individuals who aspire to make significant scholarly contributions to the field of law. This program emphasizes advanced legal research and independent study, providing an opportunity to delve deeply into complex legal issues and contribute to the evolution of legal thought and practice.
A distinguishing feature of this program is its specialization in Corporate and Business Law, making it particularly relevant for those interested in the intersection of law, commerce, and corporate governance. This specialization allows you to explore critical topics such as corporate structures, regulatory frameworks, business ethics, and the legal challenges faced by global enterprises.
The primary academic requirement of the program is the completion of a dissertation. This dissertation must present original, in-depth research on a legal topic of your choice. While the program emphasizes Corporate and Business Law, the dissertation does not need to be exclusively focused on this area. Your research can address topics that are only partially related to Corporate and Business Law, integrating other areas of legal scholarship to provide a broader or interdisciplinary perspective. If you have previously authored a text of appropriate quality, you may use it as a foundation for your dissertation, potentially streamlining your research and writing process.
To accommodate the diverse needs of its candidates, the LLD program offers unparalleled flexibility. There are no mandatory lectures, exams, or fixed deadlines, allowing you to tailor your studies to your personal and professional schedule. Whether you are balancing this degree with a career or other commitments, the program’s structure empowers you to progress at your own pace.
This program is ideal for legal professionals, academics, and researchers seeking to deepen their expertise and make impactful contributions to the field of law, particularly within the realms of Corporate and Business Law while also allowing for the exploration of other legal topics.
