1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

I am a litigator in NCR with a T2 firm and already have an LLM. I wish to pursue a PhD just in case I wish to switch to a teaching job later in my hometown. Due to family obligations, I cannot terminate my retainership and pursue PhD full-time.
Would anyone know any good universities (preferably with reasonable fees) where I can pursue PhD without any attendance requirements?
I'm in the same boat. Am already employed, but there may be a time in future where I may have to change cities and get into academia.
I now see what that second MAGA supporter in that debate meant. This is the only country in the world where people would talk like this! Why does it always have to be zero sacrifice on my part and the uni has to bend to my requirements? Why not do something part-time? You are so entitled and irritating, you think you can have your cake and eat it! You should never get a PhD "without attendance requirements" - and if there is such a programme anywhere, it is not worth attending. And if you meant to say part-time, this title is very poorly worded indeed, which in and of itself should be cause for reflection.
