How long does it take to recieve a doctorates degree in law?
Well i have been confused when people say 8 years. Do they mean 8 total or a total of 14. And also do you have to go full time to get there in that period of time. I am not really educated in this field as one might see.

Unlike any other subject matter, the doctorate in law (juris doctor) is the first degree after the bachelor’s, and it takes 3 years if you go full time. There is then a master’s of law (LLM) which usually takes an additional year after the J.D. One of the reasons you might be confused is that in some other countries, a law degree is a bachelor’s -type degree that you go for right after high school, so people tend to add the undergrad degree to the years it takes (eight would only make sense, though, if you were talking about part-time law school).

Google the university of your choice. Various degrees are generally in different “schools,” like the school of education, the school of medicine, the school of law, the school of engineering, etc. Find the one for law (not every university has this), then look up their schedules. Eight years probably means eight years full time year-round.

A doctorate shouldn’t take 8 years, that’s too long. I think the average is 3.5 to 5 years. I have my master’s in criminal justice and thinking of getting my doctorate and the program at my university says 3.5 years.
