Thinking about a JD/PhD? Do you need to get both? How do these degrees work together? Today I am joined by Professor Mark Satta, who was one of my classmates at Harvard and who went through the path of earning a JD/PhD. Listen in to hear what advice he has for those who are interested in continuing their education and what you could do with these terminal degrees.

Mark completed his PhD in Philosophy at Purdue University and earned his JD from Harvard Law School in 2019. He is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Wayne State University in Detroit.
