Legum Doctor (English: Doctor of Laws; abbreviated to LL.D.) In the UK the LL.D. is a higher doctorate awarded on the basis of exceptionally insightful and distinctive publications, containing significant and original contributions to the science or study of law. The LL.D. may also be awarded as an honorary degree based upon a person's contributions to society. Some universities, such as the University of Oxford award a Doctor of Civil Law instead.

In the USA the LL.D. is usually an honourary degree. It may also be awarded for research by the submission of a thesis. In this case, it is seen as equivalent to a Doctor of Philosophy.
