Any personal experience thinking about this?

Is there anywhere I could read some articles about SJD programs/worth it?

My knowledge is pretty minimal, but there are a handful of SJDs in some of my classes (more LLMs). I think they're almost exclusively international students who have undergrad law degrees elsewhere. Here's HLS's description: http://www.law.harvard.edu/academics/de ... index.html

Here's a brief discussion: http://leiterlawschool.typepad.com/leit ... ms-wo.html
