Even though university systems devote a lot of their time and resources towards being able to provide and maintain Law Dissertation writing services and assistance, there is little literature or evidence regarding how useful this support is for those that engage in their use. There are multiple ways of reviewing and evaluating this type of support program across various universities and law schools and this dissertation does exactly that.

The overall design of this research is longitudinal; therefore, data is collected from students at multiple time points throughout the dissertation process (from the dissertation proposal phase until submission of the dissertation), in order to identify the relationship between the use of various types of law dissertation assistance and the ultimate quality of the dissertation submitted, the completion rates of the dissertation, and student satisfaction with the use of law dissertation assistance programs.

The findings from this research suggest that students who engage in a timely manner (early) and continue to engage (throughout) with law dissertation assistance obtain the highest quality, completion rates, and satisfaction levels at the end of the dissertation process as compared to those who wait until the final hours before submitting to engage.

This research also identifies the most valuable aspects of law dissertation assistance to students as being: methodology workshops, one-to-one writing consultations, and peer feedback sessions. The evidence from this research provides guidance for law schools developing law dissertation assistance programs in how to best utilize their resources to maximize the impact of their law dissertation assistance programs.
