A Doctor of Juridical Science, or SJD, is the highest degree offered to those studying law and is pursued by exemplary students who have already completed a professional Doctor of Jurisprudence, or JD, and a Masters of Law.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
