Pace University

Program Description

Initially, candidates enroll in an S.J.D. tutorial. The tutorial comprises a thorough introduction to design and theory of the environmental law curriculum, its bibliography and research tools, methods of teaching and applications in the field. A seminar in Advanced Legal Research is also required. It is strongly recommended that candidates who have not taken an advanced seminar in the history of jurisprudence of environmental law or in comparative environmental law in their LL.M. studies do so for the S.J.D.

The primary focus of the S.J.D. is preparation of an original research thesis of publishable quality. The thesis is prepared under direct guidance of one or more Pace environmental law professors who engage candidates in a close collegial relationship. S.J.D. candidates are expected to be in full-time residence at Pace for one year, during which time every effort is made to complete the thesis.
