The Faculty of Law offers a three-year program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Laws. An Extended-Time Program is available in which students may take up to six years to complete the Bachelor of Laws degree. The Faculty does not prescribe a program of pre-law studies, nor does it recommend specific undergraduate courses for those intending to enter law school. Applicants are advised to treat their previous studies as an end in itself in the event that they are not admitted to law school. A solid academic background is an

advantage in the practice and study of law. We strongly recommend courses designed to develop reading and writing skills - vital skills that should be enhanced before entering law school. 2.

Law Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario One of the most comprehensive programs in the country, Carleton's Law program reflects the growing demand for legal studies outside the professional LL.B. Placing law and legal issues within a social context, our courses move beyond the study of legal rules to examine what we know about the law and how it works in our society. You'll acquire an understanding of the underlying dynamics of law and legal studies, as well as its rules, agents, institutions, practices, and power structures. Law is the basis upon which you can build any number of careers today - you will benefit from both a better understanding of the law and its place in our society, as well as its influence in shaping relationships among individuals and between citizens and the state. 5. Law University of Windsor, Windsor, Ontario The program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) requires full-time attendance for three years, or half-time attendance for six years.

The second and third years allow some variation in course work and research, while including certain common program requirements. 6. Law York University, Toronto, Ontario The law degree has two different roles. It is an academic discipline worthy of study in its own right as well as a necessary preliminary for entry to the legal profession. It is a fascinating subject, with a great tradition and dynamic future. Whether you are advocating the rights of an environmentally sensitive ecosystem or weighing up freedom of expression with the right to privacy, there will be something to challenge your interests. A Juris Doctor (JD) degree provides a firm foundation for students wishing to train for careers in law. However, it is important for you to note that that there are a whole range of careers outside of private legal practice as a solicitor or barrister. Such careers include acting as Crown Prosecutor, working in the courts service, national and local government law departments and specialist niche areas of law (land registry, competition law or taxation). More importantly, a law degree is one of the most well-respected undergraduate qualifications. It opens up career opportunities quite apart from the practice of law. This is because the study of law improves powers of reasoning, clarity of thought and the ability to analyze and express complicated ideas. Such skills are in demand in a wide variety of areas including commerce and industry, social services, politics, the media and the public services. 7. Law - Juris Doctor Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario The Faculty of Law at Queens University has a distinguished tradition of academic excellence in teaching, scholarship and learning, coupled with a longstanding commitment to community and collegiality.
