The Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.) is the terminal degree in law designed for individuals interested in academia. If you are seeking an academic position at a college or university, an S.J.D. will stand you in good stead.
The McKinney S.J.D. is extremely selective in the students it accepts. It is not a degree that is conferred lightly—and you should not make a casual application. Typically only candidates who have written an LL.M. thesis during an LL.M. degree program from an A.B.A. approved law school will be admitted to the program.
At this time, Robert H. McKinney School of Law is not accepting new applications for its S.J.D. program.
