Thank you for the both comments and suggestions. I am currently teaching at a law school so I won't have much time for GRE preparation and etc. This is why I am aiming Oxford where they offer part time degree without residency requirements. I don't plan to change my career or anything. I don't see myself writing legal articles for rest of my life. Law and economics papers come from either legal or economics approach and I rather would want to get further economics training to be able to read economics papers. I know I may need extensive courses to get the training that I need. if so, I am willing to do so. I have the following questions. 1. Again, Oxford offers part time Dphil. If I luckily get into the program, what it the minimum residency requirement? or can I just start the program in remote? 2. Which Top economics PHD program allows candidates to reach out potential supervisors? I found Cambridge and NYU allow it. can I try rest of the schools?Do you think it helps if I have potential supervisors and state in my SOP? 3. Oxbridge allows candidates to directly apply Dhil as long as they have master in economics. the homepage of the school also showing that "Msc in Development economics" is an appropriate degree to replace Mphil in economics for applying directly to Dphil Econ. I have master in International and development economics at Yale. Do you think I could directly apply to the Dphil ?The admission office is not replying me back. what do think? Thank you always

I write many law and economics articles and i think i need further training and economics. The following is my questions. 1. Do you think i am eligible to apply ? Have you seen a crazy person like me before? Would there be any way that i could waive some GRE or other admission requirements? 2. I guess i prefer a part-time PHD since i have a job now. Do you know anything about part time program at Oxford? 3. Do you think i can try top 15 economics PHD in US.? 4. I am sort of aiming Oxford or Cambridge since they require less extensive coursework and time. Do they have qualifying exams? if so, what is the passing rate etc? I would be grateful for your further advice and suggestions.
