Programme National (J.D.) (OLO) (Français)

The National program is attracting interest for several reasons. First, students who complete the dual legal training can continue to practice law at a national level. Then, these diplomas set them apart from their peers and propel them to the level of internationalization and international cooperation, because in Canada more than a third of jobs are linked to exports. Both in the civil service and in the private sector, the demand for double graduates is on the rise. The mobility and openness that characterize the proponents of dual legal training are certainly not unrelated to this phenomenon. Finally, the double degree is an essential tool to stand out in the contemporary job market.

As a law school accredited by the Canadian Federation of Law Societies, the Common Law Section of the Faculty of Law offers a full range of courses in public law, private law, litigation and dispute resolution, aboriginal law, international law and human rights, technology law, and environmental law, all with numerous opportunities for experiential learning.
