An LLM PhD is a higher level of qualification in the field of legal studies. Successful LLM PhD graduates can become law professors and start teaching in law colleges and universities. They can either start working with NGOs, media houses, NPOs, legal firms, or in the court of law. Note that, specific employment areas depend on the individual's specialisation, preference, and experience.
To get admission in LLM, you need to have a bachelor's in the same field, which is a legal study. You can get admission to LLM course postgraduate courses in some colleges. Still, top law schools require you to have previous experience in the field or a graduate degree.
Yes, when you enrol in an LLM course you have to choose a specialisation for your postgraduate. During this decision-making, you can choose criminal law, or family law as your specialisation. These will help you learn the core concepts of Indian law which will be beneficial for you in the long term when you need to represent your client in court.
You need to have work experience in this field and your bachelors have to be related to legal studies in one way or the other.
There are certain exceptions that can go beyond one year of the time period but mostly LLM course full-time programmes take one year to complete. Some schools do offer part-time and distance learning to their students so that LLM course can be done in two to three years depending on the law school.
Yes. You will need three or more years to complete LLM Ph.D. In this programme, a student needs to choose a topic for the research and come up with the solution and thesis along with the published paper at the end of the final year to complete the programme. LLM course is a postgraduate degree in law.
Yes, candidates can pursue an LLM PhD integrated course of four years. Note that, they must have a bachelor’s degree in law first.
Yes, you can apply for Ph.D. programme after one year of LLM, but make sure you have pursued LLM in full-time mode, otherwise, your application may not be considered.
Most colleges cover LLM PhD courses in four years, however, it can take up to five years as well, depending on the curriculum and specialisation.
The application process involves meeting educational requirements, appearing for an entrance exam (if any), and appearing for an interview.
No, there is no national-level exam for the LLM PhD integrated course.

Joint & dual degree programs.
Georgetown Law sponsors degree programs in which students may simultaneously earn a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from the Law Center and a graduate degree from the Georgetown University McDonough School of Business (M.B.A.), McCourt School of Public Policy (M.P.P.), Walsh School of Foreign Service (M.S.F.S., M.A.A.S., M.A.E.R.E.S., M.A.G.E.S., M.A. Latin American Studies, or M.A.S.S.P.), the Department of Government (J.D./Ph.D.), the Department of Philosophy (J.D./M.A., J.D./Ph.D.), or the graduate program at Georgetown Law (J.D./LL.M.). A J.D./M.P.H. is also offered in cooperation with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Harvard law school/university of cambridge jd/llm joint degree program.
The Harvard Law School and the University of Cambridge J.D./LL.M. Joint Degree Program provides an efficient avenue to earn two degrees by enabling Harvard J.D. candidates to earn a Cambridge LL.M. and a Harvard J.D. in a total of three-and-a-half years.

Dual degrees.
The study of law increasingly is informed by an understanding of other disciplines, such as management or public health. BU Law offers 17 dual degree programs with other graduate schools at Boston University and at several international universities, as well as through its own LLM programs. These programs enable students to receive two degrees in less time than it would take if the degrees were pursued separately.
Jd/phd — law and psychology.
There are nearly as many intersections between law and psychology as there are areas of policy regulation. Conflict resolution and negotiation; judgment and decision-making capacity; prejudice and stereotyping; criminal responsibility; competency; assessment of evidence, including the reliability of eyewitnesses, and lie detection; hedonics; developmental psychology and educational policy; addiction and drug policy—these are just a few of the frontiers open to scholars and practitioners educated in both law and psychology.
Stanford has a rich tradition of collaboration between its psychology department and law school, with faculty members co-authoring publications, and students working together and enrolling in interdisciplinary programs. Stanford’s psychology department has long been considered the strongest in the nation, with an atypical breadth of scholarly strength that supports a wide range of student interests. Stanford is also one of the nation’s leading centers for neuroscience research , bringing together biologists, psychologists, social scientists, and policymaker-lawyers to deepen our understanding of the brain.
Students pursuing a JD/PhD in law and psychology generally go on to academic careers in law schools, psychology departments, policy jobs, and think tanks. However, issues pursued through this joint degree program are also highly relevant to legal practice. Every day, litigators and negotiators make strategic decisions based on accounts of human decision-making. Those who regulate markets make decisions based on accounts of how people process distinct sorts of information. Those who work with medical ethicists make judgments that depend on assumptions about competency or the nature of pain.
Students must have completed a year of law school before entering the psychology department or have completed a year of psychology graduate school before applying to the law school.
As many as 54 quarter units of approved courses may be counted toward both degrees. No more than 31 quarter units of approved courses that originate outside the law school may count toward the law degree.
The maximum number of law school credits that may be counted toward the PhD in psychology is the greater of: (i) 36 quarter units; or (ii) the maximum number of units from courses outside the department that PhD candidates in psychology are permitted to count toward the PhD under general psychology department guidelines or in the case of a particular student’s individual program.
Note to applicants: The Knight-Hennessy Scholars program awards full funding to Stanford graduate students from all disciplines, with additional opportunities for leadership training and collaboration across fields. Joint Degree applicants are encouraged to apply to the Knight – Hennessy Scholars Program. Please be aware that the Knight-Hennessy Scholars applications are due in early Autumn one year prior to enrollment. View dates and deadlines: knight-hennessy.stanford.edu/dates-and-deadlines .

Northwestern Law and its Center for International Human Rights offers a four-year joint degree program leading to both a JD and an LLM in International Human Rights, with a focus on both international human rights law and international criminal law. Northwestern Law remains the only law school in the country to offer a joint JD-LLM in International Human Rights (JD-LLM IHR) program.
Students enrolled in the JD-LLM IHR program will receive a thorough grounding in the norms and mechanisms of international human rights law and international criminal law. A distinctive feature of the program will be the requirement that students complete a semester-long externship with one of a number of designated international and hybrid criminal tribunals, foreign supreme courts, and international human rights organizations.
The joint degree program requires the completion of the requirements for the JD, plus an additional 20 credits from courses related to international human rights law. These courses must include the following core courses:
The remaining 12 credits can be fulfilled from an array of elective courses relating to international human rights law or international criminal law. While courses may vary from year to year, elective courses offered may include:
Students must also complete a 12-credit, semester-long externship with one of a number of designated international and hybrid criminal tribunals, foreign supreme courts, or international human rights organizations. The externship can be undertaken during the joint degree student’s second, third, or fourth years. For further information regarding externships, please see the International Externship page.
Upon completion of all requirements, JD-LLM IHR students are awarded both degrees simultaneously.
All JD-LLM IHR students who are interested in journal service must compete in the journal writing competition during the spring following their first year of law school.
Students must identify their program on the administrative contact form (and not on any competition submissions to be evaluated).
Journal service must consist of two consecutive years. Non-consecutive years of journal service result in an incomplete and limited journal experience for both the student and the journal.
When journals submit their list of selected student competitors, the journal will be informed if any selections are JD-LLM IHR students. If so, when making the offer, the journal will ask that student to declare his or her intentions between the following options:
To serve for two consecutive years (student plans to complete externship in his or her 4th year)
In exceptional circumstances, a student may be able to complete his/her externship during the third year. If a student wishes to complete his/her externship during the third year, then the student must communicate his or her absence in a timely manner to the journal executive board. During the year in which a student is completing an externship, his or her journal role must be consistent with both the student's absence and the journal's needs regarding that student's service. Thus, the journal will only allow the student to take on a role that can be fulfilled without being physically present on campus for both semesters of the academic year. Such roles will vary from journal to journal and from board position to board position. This approach is the same that is applied when any journal member seeks to study abroad during a year of journal service.

J.d./ll.m. in national and global health law.
Offered in conjunction with the O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law , Georgetown’s health law LL.M. program trains lawyers to apply their specialized legal skills to improve population health in the United States and globally. The innovative full- or part-time course of study explore the intersections of health and law, including global health governance, health and human rights, food and drug law, access to health care, and legal interventions to prevent and control infectious and non-communicable diseases. The J.D./LL.M. in National and Global Health Law degree program enables Georgetown Law students to earn both a J.D. degree and an LL.M. in National and Global Health Law in a total of seven full-time semesters (or longer if completed on a part-time basis).
Students must apply for admission to the program at the end of their 2L/3E year.
Under this program, students count 12 credits completed during their J.D. studies toward the LL.M. degree. Of these 12 credits, at least 8 credits must be health law "specialization credits." Following completion and conferral of the J.D. degree, students must complete an additional 12 credits of coursework, of which at least 8 must be health law "specialization credits."
Following acceptance into the J.D./LL.M. degree, students must complete:
This program is only open to students who are earning their J.D. at Georgetown Law. Students may complete the additional credits on a full-time or part-time basis. J.D./LL.M. students are expected to complete their LL.M. credits within two years of receiving their J.D. degree.
For more information about the LL.M. degree in National and Global Health Law and the other courses that count as "specialization credits" toward the degree, visit the LL.M. in National and Global Health Law page.

Today's lawyers practice in an environment of increasing complexity. Many specialty areas-including health care, domestic matters, business, and the environment-operate at the intersection of law and other disciplines, calling for specialized knowledge and training. To prepare you for the challenges of this kind of legal work, we offer several dual-degree programs in partnership with other leading academic institutions in the region.
Candidates for dual-degree programs must meet the separate admissions criteria and degree requirements of each school. Through credit sharing, you can satisfy the requirements for degrees in two related disciplines in less time, and at less expense, than would otherwise be possible. Students interested in a dual-degree program typically apply to both schools at the same time. If you are admitted to both schools, you will enroll in one school and defer the offer of admission to the other school until the following year. However, you may also decide to pursue a dual-degree program after you are already enrolled in one school.
Dual-degree students must receive both degrees at the same time in order to be listed as dual-degree recipients in the graduation program. While Maryland Carey Law will count up to 9 credits of non-law graduate work toward the JD, whether or not the student is in a dual-degree program, the other school may not be able to count law school credits toward the other degree if the degrees are not awarded at the same time.
In addition to the following, other dual-degree programs may be developed for students who request them.
The Master of Arts in Criminal Justice program prepares students for research, teaching, and professional employment in the operational agencies in the field of criminal justice. It is offered through the Institute of Criminal Justice and Criminology at the University of Maryland, College Park. For more information, call (301) 405-6838 or visit http://www.ccjs.umd.edu/ .
The JD-MALA Dual-Degree Program is offered in cooperation with the St. John’s College (SJC) Graduate Institute in Annapolis, Maryland.
Through credit sharing, students in this dual-degree program can satisfy the requirements for two degrees in different disciplines in less time, and at less expense, than would otherwise be possible. Students interested in the JD-MALA Dual-Degree Program must apply separately for admission to both schools. Applicants must meet the separate admission criteria and complete the distinct degree requirements at each institution.
If admitted to both programs, students may enroll in and obtain degrees from both programs simultaneously, although students typically enroll in one school and defer admission to the other school until the following year. For example, the first year of study at the University of Maryland Carey School of Law is comprised almost entirely of required courses; therefore, first-year law students do not take courses at the SJC Graduate Institute that year. Instead, students beginning the program at the law school enroll in relevant courses at SJC during the second year. Alternatively, JD-MALA Dual-Degree Program students may begin their studies at SJC before beginning the first year of law school, but none of the courses taken that year would transfer from SJC to the JD program.
Regardless of the order of enrollment, participation in this JD-MALA Dual-Degree Program must be formally established prior to the completion of any coursework that would be intended to transfer from one of these institutions to the other. Once participation is approved, the schedule for fulfilling degree requirements for each program may be completed in a variety of ways, including completing courses at both institutions concurrently or successively. The SJC MALA program must be completed within eight years of matriculation, while the Maryland Carey Law JD program must be completed within seven years. To be strategic, students are encouraged to communicate interest in this dual-degree program as early as possible and to work very closely with both institutions to devise a sensible and comprehensive long-term enrollment plan. Ultimately, in order to be listed as a dual-degree recipient in both commencement programs, dual-degree program participants must complete their last requirements for both degrees in the same term.
The University of Maryland Carey School of Law will accept nine credits awarded by the SJC Graduate Institute Politics and Society segment toward the JD, provided that those credits were earned after the start of enrollment at Maryland Carey Law. Specific topics to be submitted for approval in conjunction with the Politics and Society segment include courses in the areas of History, Politics and Society, and Philosophy and Theology. In all cases, any classes taken at SJC that are intended to apply to the law degree must be approved by the Office of Registration and Enrollment at Maryland Carey Law prior to the student’s enrollment in those SJC courses. This approval process formalizes the student’s participation in the JD-MALA Dual-Degree Program from the perspective of the law school.
The St. John’s College Graduate Institute will accept nine credits awarded by the University of Maryland Carey School of Law toward the MALA degree, provided that grades of B- or higher were earned at Maryland Carey Law. Specific courses to be considered for transfer include Constitutional Law II, Criminal Law, and Property Law. In all cases, any classes taken at Maryland Carey Law that are intended to apply to the MALA degree must be approved by the SJC Associate Dean of Graduate Programs prior to the student’s enrollment in those School of Law courses. This approval process formalizes the student’s participation in the JD-MALA Dual-Degree Program from the perspective of the SJC Graduate Institute.

The Master of Business Administration program is designed to prepare students for positions of responsibility in industry, commerce, or government, or as preparation for legal careers working with those in such positions.
The University of Maryland Carey School of Law partners with three local-area MBA programs:
Specifically, Maryland Carey Law and the Carey Business School at Johns Hopkins have an agreement in which any student who completes their first year of law school at Maryland Carey Law in good standing is automatically admitted to the MBA program at Johns Hopkins. You can find more information about the submitting an application for the MBA program and the JD/MBA here .
The University of Maryland Carey School of Law partners with the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics for law students also interested in obtaining their Master of Bioethics (MBE) , an innovative, interdisciplinary program combining approaches from science and technology, the humanities and arts, and public health and medicine. The MBE degree prepares students from diverse personal and professional backgrounds to address the bioethics challenges they will face in professional and civic life. The purpose of the JD/MBE dual degree program is to facilitate the integration of both legal and bioethics academic programs to prepare students for a diverse range of careers in the law and bioethics. Students will receive two degrees, one from each school. Program students must seek advising from each school for a clear understanding of course requirements and options available.
For more information, contact Rebecca Hall, Managing Director of the Law & Health Care Program, at [email protected] .
The Community Planning Program brings together an active community of scholars and students to creatively confront the issues facing our cities and metropolitan regions. Through instruction, participation in research, and community interaction, students explore the changing character and critical problems of modern urban development. The curriculum emphasizes student understanding of the political, economic, institutional, and social context within which planners work with a diverse range of stakeholders to develop and implement plans, policies, and programs. Specializations include housing and economic development, land use, growth management and environmental planning, transportation planning, and social planning. The Urban Studies and Planning Program will accept up to 9 credits of JD coursework towards the MCP degree, while Maryland Carey Law will grant up to 9 credits of MCP coursework toward the JD.
Applicants must apply to each program separately and be accepted by both programs. The MCP program requires a grade of B or better in law coursework in order to grant transfer credit. Credits from the MCP program can be transferred to the Law program only if they are taken while the student is enrolled in the Law program and vice versa. This means that students cannot take advantage of the transfer of credits if they have already completed either of the programs.
Applicants for the dual-degree in Community Planning/Juris Doctor should use the four-letter code “LCPL” on the online University of Maryland, College Park application for the MCP. For more information, contact Dr. Casey Dawkins, URSP Program Director, at [email protected] or (301) 405-2158; and Kristen Stack Tepper, URSP Program Coordinator, at [email protected] or (301) 405-6311.
The University of Maryland Carey School of Law partners with two MPH programs:
For more information, contact Rebecca Hall, Managing Director of the Law & Health Care Program, at (410) 706-5369 or [email protected] .
The Master of Social Work Program exposes students to issues and methods of social work and to the relationships between social work programs and the legal system. It is offered through the University of Maryland School of Social Work. For more information, call (410) 706-7922.
The purpose of the Doctor of Pharmacy dual-degree program is to facilitate the integration of these two academic programs to prepare students for a diverse range of health care and legal careers. This program is offered through the School of Pharmacy at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. A very useful FAQ about the dual degree program is located at http://www.pharmacy.umaryland.edu/academics/dualdegrees/PharmD-JD.html . For more information, call the School of Pharmacy Admissions at (410) 706-7653; and Rebecca Hall, Managing Director of the Law & Health Care Program, at (410) 706-5369 or [email protected] .
Through the School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland, College Park, students may earn a Master of Public Policy. This program develops the critical and analytical skills necessary to the formulation of public policy and management of public sector and nonprofit programs. Students in the Master of Public Policy program must complete 48 credits of approved courses consisting of a core curriculum, requirements of a chosen specialization, and general electives. For more information, call (301) 405-6331, email [email protected] , or visit http://publicpolicy.umd.edu/graduate/admissions/application-process/dual-programs .
This is offered through the University of Maryland Baltimore County. The Law and Public Policy program recognizes that a knowledge of legal and social science, literature, combined with the analytical tools from both fields, is strong preparation for careers in teaching, legislative analysis, or policy positions. The law school will accept 9 credits from the policy sciences program, and policy sciences will normally accept 6 to 9 law credits at the master's level 12 to 15 law credits at the PhD level. For more information, call Graduate Admissions at (410) 455-2537, School of Public Policy at (410) 455-3202, or visit http://www.umbc.edu/gradschool/programs/pub_pol.html .
Maryland Carey Law and UMBC have partnered to facilitate the integration of two academic programs to prepare students for a diverse range of cybersecurity and legal careers. Through a sharing of elective credits and flexible scheduling, students can earn the Juris Doctor (JD) and the Master’s of Professional Studies (MPS) in Cybersecurity degrees in less time, and therefore with less cost, than would be required if each degree was completed separately. To obtain the MPS degree, students must earn 30 credits. Up to 12 credits from Maryland Carey Law can be used to fulfill this requirements. Up to 9 credits from the MPS program at UMBC can be used to complete the 85 credit requirement for the JD degree. Students interested in the Dual Degree program must apply and meet all application criteria and be admitted into the JD and the MPS programs separately before beginning this Dual Degree program. If accepted into both programs, students will work with each program’s administrators to plan out their academic schedule.
For information about each program, visit: https://www.law.umaryland.edu/Programs-and-Impact/Cybersecurity-and-Crisis-Management/Degree-Programs/ and https://professionalprograms.umbc.edu/cybersecurity/masters-of-professional-studies-cybersecurity/

Eligibility.
Up to six Harvard 2Ls are selected annually to spend their 3L year reading for the LL.M. degree in Cambridge, United Kingdom. The admissions process begins with an application through HLS in January of the candidate’s 2L year and ends with a decision by Cambridge in early spring for matriculation at Cambridge the following fall.
HLS students who are already enrolled in joint degree programs, either with other Harvard schools or other American universities, are not eligible to apply for the Cambridge program. Students who transfer to HLS after completing their first year at another law school are also not eligible for the Cambridge program.
Students who would like to discuss the possibility of obtaining disability accommodations for the Cambridge LL.M. should contact Lakshmi Clark, Director of Student Affairs, at [email protected] or (617) 496-2437 prior to applying.
As a first step in the application process, students should submit the following materials by Friday, January 5, 2024 to International Legal Studies, by e-mail to [email protected] :
Applicants will be notified by February 1 if they are being nominated for the Cambridge LL.M. program. After that, each nominated student will receive instructions and an individualized application link from the Cambridge Graduate Admissions Office. Students will then have seven days to complete the on-line application and upload the supporting materials.
When completing the on-line application, students will provide their recommenders’ names and e-mail addresses. The system will generate an invitation for recommenders to submit materials via the reference portal. (It is expected that the content of these reference letters will be the same as that of the letters reviewed by the HLS Study Abroad Committee.)
Admissions decisions are ultimately made by the University of Cambridge.
J anuary 5, 2024 Application materials are due to International Legal Studies.
Mid-January Each applicant meets individually with a member of the HLS study abroad team to discuss how the year at Cambridge could fit into their academic and career goals.
February 1 Students will be notified whether they have been selected as nominees for the Cambridge LL.M. program. Nominees will then receive an individualized application link and will have seven days to complete the Cambridge on-line application and upload the supporting materials.
Mid-March Students are notified of admissions decisions by the University of Cambridge.
April 15 Students who are admitted to Cambridge must make a firm commitment to the program.
Colleges form the basis for much of the academic and social life at Cambridge. In choosing a College, HLS students may wish to consider the composition of the student body, including whether it has undergraduate as well as graduate students; its location (including where graduate students are housed in relation to the faculty of law); its facilities and activities (library, dining, sports, social events), the “personality” of the College and its degree of formality; its alumni network; and the availability of funding for doctoral-level study, among other factors.
All of the Colleges on this list particularly welcome applications from HLS students to the LL.M. program and have agreed to consider each application made. Each College has its own policy on the number of places that it makes available for LL.M. students in any one year. A typical College will accept between three to six LL.M. students (across all applications received) but some will accept fewer students and some considerably more. In general, the graduate colleges tend to have higher numbers of LL.M. students (in some cases accepting 20 or more LL.M. students). College admissions offices will usually answer queries about the typical size of an LL.M. cohort, and the Link Coordinator at Cambridge, Jens Scherpe ( [email protected] ), is always happy to answer questions that HLS students may have.
Applicants can learn about how the College system works and admittance restrictions on the Cambridge website. It can also be useful to speak with HLS students who have studied at Cambridge or to contact the officers of the Cambridge Graduate Union for an “unofficial” perspective on the various Colleges. Upon request, the International Legal Studies office can provide HLS students with contact information of past participants in the HLS-Cambridge Joint Degree Program as well as their tips about things to consider when choosing a College.
HLS students will need to designate their preferred Colleges as part of their application to Cambridge and may not change these preferences later.
It is also possible for HLS students to express preferences for other Cambridge Colleges but the likelihood of acceptance cannot be predicted. Competition for places in some Cambridge Colleges is particularly intense, due to either the small number of places available or the large number of applicants who ranked that College as a first choice. If an HLS applicant is not accepted by either of the two preferred Colleges indicated on their application form, they will be assigned to another college as designated by Cambridge.
A few Colleges have restrictions and some do not have housing for married couples.

Are there any Universities offering joint degree of LLM and a PhD in USA. I am getting too many JD/Ph.D programs but I am not getting any LLM/Ph.D programs in USA. Can anybody help me to get this?

Peggy Browning Fellow Justin McCulloch L’26 worked with the legal department of the United Steelworkers (USW) in Pittsburgh this summer.
Justin McCulloch L’26 is a rising 2L from Coconut Creek, FL, who hopes to work in civil rights and labor law.
This summer, I worked as a Peggy Browning Fellow with the legal department of the United Steelworkers (USW) in Pittsburgh, PA. Under the guidance of the USW’s General Counsel, I aided the legal department in advocating for and defending members across North America. This includes traditional steelworkers, employees in the rubber industry, and faculty at the University of Pittsburgh.
In my role, I had the opportunity to complete intense research into NLRB decisions, arbitrations, and circuit court decisions, as well as drafting position statements for bargaining and grievance arbitration. My primary work focused on assisting in protecting members’ rights under collective bargaining agreements, enforcement of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), and ensuring positive gains in new rounds of negotiations. Most recently, I played an active research role in the Steelworkers’ preparation for an arbitration in connection with a merger involving one of the union’s largest employers, where the USW hopes to protect their hard-fought gains, which they have achieved over several decades of labor activism.
My summer work is a part of the mission of the Peggy Browning Fund (PBF). The PBF is a nonprofit organization established in memory of Margaret A. Browning L’78, prominent labor attorney and Member of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). PBF’s fellowship program seeks to educate and inspire the next generation of advocates for workplace justice. The fellowship provides aspiring labor/employment lawyers with the opportunity to work under the tutelage of experienced labor lawyers at union-side firms, worker nonprofits, and in-house union counsel. I want to use this experience and my connections at USW to grow my network in the labor movement and build my knowledge of labor law. My work at USW has solidified that my home is in the labor movement and has pushed me toward pursuing a career as a worker’s rights advocate. I would be particularly interested in working in the South.
Later this year, I will attend the Peggy Browning Workers’ Rights Conference, where I and the other Fellows will share our experiences, gain new knowledge, and continue our fight for a better workplace for all people.
My passion for labor law was fostered by my upbringing and my Penn Carey Law experience. As the grandson of a member of the Polish Solidarity (Solidarność) movement, I was raised to believe in the dignity of all labor, as well as the awesome power that workers could harness and utilize—if only given the chance. My first year at Penn Carey Law provided a unique avenue to channel that belief into legal knowledge and activism. From learning about the role of tort law in the development of workplace safety and labor agitation, to advocating for worker benefits in my Legal Practice Skills brief, I have been able to exercise and build upon my passion for the law and the cause of labor.
After this summer, I hope to use my real-life experience with the USW to inform my education as I prepare for coursework in employment discrimination and labor law. Having learned key skills and important expertise from one of the oldest and strongest unions in the county, I plan to use those tools to pursue pro-bono projects at the Law School and activism in the Philadelphia area. Post graduation, I hope to continue the fight for workplace justice at a union-side law firm or pursuing my other legal interests: freedom of religion and church-state separation.
Pathways to the Profession highlights Penn Carey Law students and post-graduate fellows as they launch impactful legal careers. From summer internships in the private sector to public interest post-graduate fellowships and externships, these firsthand accounts of substantive legal work demonstrate the myriad opportunities available to Penn Carey Law students and graduates.

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) systems are becoming increasingly prevalent in both industry and research settings. These systems rely heavily on prompting, or prompt engineering, where developers and end users interact with the AI through carefully designed prompts. Despite the widespread use and research in this area, there remains a lack of standardized terminology and a clear ontological understanding of what constitutes a prompt, largely due to the field's growing nature.
In response, University of Maryland undergraduate computer science majors Michael Ilie , Sander Schulhoff , along with Ph.D. student Alexander Hoyle and affiliate computer science Professor Philip Resnik , have led a collaborative, multi-institutional study on prompting techniques for GenAI systems.
Their paper, " The Prompt Report: A Systematic Survey of Prompting Techniques ," addresses these gaps by initially attempting to categorize the diverse and unfamiliar territory of prompting techniques. Their goal is to offer a comprehensive taxonomy and terminology that covers a broad range of existing prompt engineering methods and can accommodate future developments.
The researchers discuss over 200 prompting techniques, frameworks built around them and critical issues such as safety and security that need to be considered when using them. The paper introduces a comprehensive vocabulary of 33 terms, a taxonomy of 58 text-only prompting techniques and 40 techniques for other modalities. Additionally, the paper presents a meta-analysis of the entire literature on natural language prefix-prompting.
By bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise, the team produced a study that offers a holistic view. The study, involving researchers from OpenAI , Microsoft and various universities, is the largest of its kind and encompasses thousands of papers on the subject.
"Working with a large team was very beneficial as each person had their unique knowledge of prompting that we included in the paper," Schulhoff said. “It unites the field into a single document containing extensive foundational work. The paper is already making an impact, with previously unclear terminology being elucidated and prompting techniques being standardized."
“What began as an independent study project that Sander was doing with me turned into an enormous contribution to the current public discussion about large language models,” said Resnik, who holds joint appointments in the University of Maryland's Institute for Advanced Computer Studies and Department of Linguistics . “Right now, designing good prompts for LLMs is alchemy or animal training; people are busily experimenting with ways of getting these systems to produce the results they want, but it's a chaotic process because nobody knows what's actually going on under the hood. The prompt report paper takes a huge step toward creating some order amid the chaos, and it's already having a big impact on the community.”

A team of researchers with ties to NYU Tandon—Drs. Ramesh Karri and Siddharth Garg, Ph.D. candidate Jason Blocklove, and a former post-doctoral researcher and research assistant professor Dr. Hammond Pearce—have developed a blueprint for creating microchips using AI. Over the past year or so the team was able to fabricate the world’s first microchip designed through conversations with a Large Language Model (LLM) AI platform, and then prove its viability by winning the first-place prize in the Efabless AI Generated Design Contest. In doing so, the team has provided a powerful “proof of concept” at a time when major chip design software companies, including Synopsys ( https://news.synopsys.com/2023-11-15-Synopsys-Announces-Synopsys-ai-Copilot,-Breakthrough-GenAI-Capability-to-Accelerate-Chip-Design ), Cadence ( https://www.cadence.com/en_US/home/solutions/cadence-ai-platform.html ), and NVIDIA ( https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/llm-semiconductors-chip-nemo/ ) have announced plans to integrate natural language AI into semiconductor design flows.
“Chip Chat,” as the technique was named, promises to help simplify and accelerate chip development.Through back-and forth conversations with OpenAI’s GPT-4, the team was able to author the hardware description language (HDL), or Verilog code, needed to explain the digital circuits and systems that make up the chip’s architecture.
The NYU Tandon team later presented Chip Chat in a paper at the Machine Learning for CAD (MLCAD) workshop in September 2023 (see https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10299874 ).
