RCST School of Law is offering cutting-edge Law Course Programs while keeping pace with evolving global standards of law education.

The Doctor of Laws program from our School of Law is the advanced level in the Fast-Track Law Degrees Programs.  Students will abridge all the learning in Foundation and Intermediate Levels into the final disciplines of professional correction, instruction and direction culminating in preparing for the Doctorate Thesis or Dissertation in any field of the law as selected by the Participating Students. 

 

While passing written examinations and tests is the inevitable norm, we focus on preparing our students to apply what they have learned to their professional tasks when they begin their law careers.  We have designed and developed the specialist Law Courses uniquely tailored for students desiring to pursue professional careers as Lawyers, Judges, Law Professors and in-house Corporate Lawyers.

 

Students in the Doctor of Law program will be mentored to independently design his or her own degree concentration (pathway) including writing Professional Research Papers (Courseworks) and a Doctoral Thesis.  The program can be completed within a shorter period of 12-months depending on individual commitment. Our Distinguished Professor Judge Dr. Navin-Chandra Naidu with Learned Scholars will be teaching and mentoring students in achieving excellence in the fundamentals and practice of law with the How to Study Law system instead of the What to Study in Law
