Law (JSM)

专业详情

The JSM (Master of the Science of Law) degree is awarded to individuals who hold a JD (or its equivalent) and are at the Law School participating in the Stanford Program for International Legal Studies (SPILS Program).

Leading to the completion of the Master of the Science of Law (JSM) degree, SPILS emphasizes interdisciplinary research, broadly defined—including the full range of social sciences (qualitative and quantitative), as well as more humanistic approaches.  SPILS is oriented toward international candidates with a primary law degree earned outside the United States who are committed to pursuing careers in teaching, research, the judiciary, public policy, or service in government or nongovernmental organizations. SPILS enrolls approximately 12 fellows per year. Students who are interested in pursuing a teaching or research career in the fields of Corporate Governance & Practice or Law, Science & Technology should apply to SPILS. The LLM program and SPILS make separate admissions decisions, so these students may also want to apply to the LLM program in the field of their specialization
