ACADEMICS

JURIS DOCTOR PROGRAM

The SSC-R Manila College of Law offers Juris Doctor, a four-year program, an interdisciplinary approach to the study of law. It provides a solid foundation on the core bar subjects giving the students the opportunity to focus on areas of particular interest through the elective subjects. It enables the students to deepen their understanding of the law through intensive apprenticeship immersion, research and thesis analysis.

MASTER OF LAWS

The SSC-R Manila Institute of Graduate Studies offers Master of Laws (LI.M.) to those who have already completed the basic law degree. It is a 36-unit program designed to provide an expanded understanding of law and legal theory.

The program covers Basic Courses, Areas of Specialization, Cognates and Thesis Writing. LI.M. students can pursue specialization in areas of International Law, Comparative Law, Commercial Jurisprudence, and Constitutional Law.

The Master of Laws is an Off-Campus Executive Program, wherein in-class school activities, though guided and supervised by the professor, are reduced to a greater extent since academic requirements can now be done outside of the school premises. The teaching approach is a balance of theory and industry application.
