How do I Write the Acknowledgements for a Dissertation in Law?

Once you have researched, written, and rewritten your Law dissertation, it is time for you to consider your Acknowledgement page. This is a thank-you page. The very first thing you will want to do is to see how your school feels about this part of your project. Once you have the guidelines from the university or college, then you may begin to compile the Acknowledgement for your Law dissertation. Here are our five easy steps:

5 Easy Steps

  1. Not evaluated-this page is not evaluated by the committee during reading or argument, so it is therefore, optional. You, as the writer, can decide whether to include one or not to include one in your piece.
  2. Who to Thanks-there are a number of suggestions as to who you can or would thank on this page. Some of those people might be your family, any funders or donors, any participants, your academic dissertation faculty advisor, and any other close friends or professors.
  3. Keep it Simple-this page should not exceed one page in length. You want so simply give a thanks for the support. It should not be overly emotional or lengthy. Keep the contents as simple as you possibly can. And always be genuine in your words.
  4. Consider Proofreaders and editors-the jury is out on whether to do this or not. Some schools will clearly tell you to mention anyone who played a part in the creation of your project. Your college or university guide should tell you what to do when it comes to editors and proofreaders.
  5. Name Droppers and Splitting by category-most schools do not care for it when the student name drops. This can be an issue if a well-known expert in the field did actually help you. You should thank that person, but the lines of the comment should not be overwhelmingly elaborate or just too much. You may want to use five lines to separate the profession thank-you section from the friends/family section of thanks. Most people do this as a rule.

You are almost finished. When it comes to your notes of thank you page, please use our five easy to follow, but very important tips: know your school rules, know who to mention, keep it simple, consider your proofreaders and editors, and be careful with namedroppers and separate the groups.
