Law

The Faculty of Law offers a three-year program that emphasizes a balance between doctrinal, clinical and perspective courses, each of which contributes to an understanding of the law, its application, and its role within a civil society. Students gain the practical experience that they require in the field by working closely with professors and practicing lawyers. The Bachelor of Law degree permits the holder to take the Bar Admission course of any Canadian common law province. The Bar Admission course, together with articling with a law firm or a government agency, takes approximately one year following graduation from the Faculty of Law.

Careers


Many graduates work with law firms across the country, practicing on their own, or working for a variety of non-legal institutions which require lawyers on staff. Others work for the government in criminal prosecutions, civil litigation, corporate and commercial affairs, taxation, and as general counsel. Law graduates may work as crown prosecutors, draft legislation, advise various departments and tribunals, and represent the government in court. A legal education is often a stepping-stone to an executive position in business or to careers in law enforcement, corrections, foreign affairs, banking, journalism, and teaching.
