The Master's Degree

The Degree for Master of Laws is in a peculiar position since it is one of the few degrees of that nature for which a thesis is not required. But what is required?

The subjects are divided into three sections and one has to be chosen from each section with the result that at least one of three has very little relation with the other two. This seems to be an absurd position. A student who wishes to specialise is forced to spend time studying a subject which holds no interest for him and has little connection with the other parts of his work.

There are two possible changes that could be made: either the introduction of thesis work or the more rational arrangement of those sections.
