McGeorge offers the JSD degree in two areas: International Water Resources Law and International legal Studies. 

A JSD, or Doctor of Juridical Science is, in effect, legal education's counterpart to the PhD. Those who have already earned an LLM and wish to do intensive, in-depth work in either international water resources law or another international law topic can apply for the JSD program.
