PhD in Law
Hello, Wed Mar 16, 2005 02:55 PM I am wondering if anyone can provide advice about the value of a doctorate degree in law. In Canada, law teaching positions usually go to PhD (aka LLD, SJD) candidates and grads- the LLM is no longer enough. Is this true for Australia and New Zealand? How long does it usually take to complete a PhD there? Are most grad students funded? Thanks. |

YEAH, the LLM is no longer really enough in Australia.Sat Mar 19, 2005 08:41 AM A PhD is roughly 100,000 words. Depends how long it takes you to type I suppose. Usually a couple of years or so. Most grad students have rich parents. They are not funded. |

Re: PhD in Law
Melbdude - you are quite judgmental! In fact, the vast majority of PhD students in Australia are funded by Commonwealth scholarships or support themselves with teaching/other work - perhaps you should look around a little more before giving misleading advice.
