What will I learn with a doctoral degree in judicial studies?

This Judicial Studies Ph.D. is a challenging, stimulating academic degree program that:

  • Delivers a structured, interdisciplinary academic curriculum applicable to the student's judicial needs
  • Encourages students to take an active role in teaching, planning and administering judicial education
  • Provides experience (by virtue of the judicial studies thesis and dissertation requirements) for conducting and publishing research of interest and applicability to the judicial system

Trial judges and juvenile and family court judges can integrate technical studies of the judiciary with academic studies in an effort to provide an intellectual assessment of the American judicial system. Toward this end, the National Judicial College and National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges provide a series of courses treating technical subject matter, while the University provides specially designed courses that treat judicially related issues from a liberal arts perspective.
