LL.M. Research Theses Series
Master of Laws (LL.M.) theses are prepared by those graduate law students who to complete an “Essay Track” LL.M. Each thesis is a substantial work of legal research and analysis on a subject selected by the graduate student, with guidance from the director of Graduate Legal Studies and a School of Law School faculty member. Over the years, a number of law school professors have undertaken the work of directing LL.M. theses. In this role of Major Professor to the particular LL.M. student, the faculty member supervises the thesis research and writing. Most theses have been the subjects of repeated drafts and supplementary research done in consultation with the Major Professor. Generally, accepted theses are of the quality of a law journal article, but they may require further editing. In a number of instances, LL.M. theses have been published later in legal periodicals.
LL.M. theses represent a substantial body of graduate student research and writing at the School of Law over more than thirty years. Many of these works are comparative in nature, reflecting the variety of countries in which their authors received legal training. Bound copies of some theses are available in the Dean Rusk Center's library; bound and electronic copies of most theses are available through the Law Library; and electronic theses can be found on the UGA Electronic Theses and Dissertations web site by searching for law in the Department section.
