香港大学法律专业怎么样

　　香港大学(港大)的法律专业研究生开设情况以及申请要求：

　　港大的法律分为三种学位：LLM, JD, SJD.

　　首先先说说说SJD：the Doctor of Legal Science (SJD), which follows an American model of postgraduate research and places greater emphasis on course work requirements. 也就是说主要是以研究为导向性博士学位。

　　JD，Juris Doctor的缩写。主要以职业为导向性的“博士”。说是博士，更加准确的可以理解为为将来职业想成为律师所强化训练的学位。港大的JD是两年的项目。

　　LLM，源自于拉丁文，法律硕士的意思。

　　港大的LLM下属方向较多，有：

　　1、 comprising Chinese law

　　2、 human rights law

　　3、 corporate and financial law

　　4、 information technology and intellectual property law

　　5、 arbitration and dispute resolution

　　同时，港大这边为中国大陆的学生，专门开设了一个Master of Common Law degree。大陆申请者可以着重关注一下。
