 General Information

The Department of Law provides a unique forum for the study of law in an interdisciplinary environment. Emphasis is placed on an approach that views law as a social phenomenon, and that situates the study of legal structures, rules and institutions within their social, economic and political context. The Department of Law is characterized by an approach to the study of law that is firmly rooted in the social science tradition of enquiry.

The Department does not attempt, in any manner, to offer a "pre-law" program for students intending to pursue professional vocational training in law schools. Nor does completion of courses or programs qualify anyone to practice law or give counsel in legal matters. The interdisciplinary and social sciences perspectives on legal issues offered in the Department's courses do serve as valuable background to a wide variety of career pursuits, including professional and administrative areas as well as supporting further academic studies.

The Department of Law offers programs leading to both B.A. (Honours) and B.A. degrees in Law. Students may also undertake the study of law in a Combined B.A. (Honours) in conjunction with another discipline.

Graduation Regulations

In order to graduate, students must fulfill all University graduation Regulations, all Faculty regulations including First-Year Seminar and Breadth requirements, and all Major regulations and requirements set out below.

The grade-point average (GPA) for purposes of entry into, continuation in, and eligibility to graduate from Law shall be calculated over all successfully completed, graded credits used to meet the specific program requirements in Law. Additional courses in Law are not included in the grade-point average.

Overall graduation average

For students graduating in the B.A. (Honours) or Combined B.A. (Honours) program in Law, the overall graduation average shall be calculated over all successfully completed, graded credits counting towards the degree and used to meet the degree requirements.

Law graduation average

B.A. (Honours) and Combined B.A. (Honours) with a Concentration in Law, Policy and Government

General Information

Academic requirements for the Concentration have been defined for B.A. (Honours) and Combined B.A. (Honours) Law students. The minimum GPA required over the courses in this Concentration is 6.5. The Concentration is open to students in the B.A. program. However, it is unlikely that a student could meet the requirements of the Concentration within the 15.0 credits required for the B.A. degree, so that courses extra to the primary degree would have to be taken.

The Concentration in Law, Policy and Government provides an opportunity for focused study on the interaction between law and policy development in the context of governmental decision-making. In addition to meeting the general requirements for an Honours or Combined Honours degree, students will be required to complete a selection of core and optional courses relating to the theme of law, policy and government. Students are expected to declare their intention to complete a Concentration by the end of their second year.

Internship Option

Full-time students in the B.A. (Honours) in Law with a Concentration in Law, Policy and Government have the option to apply for an Internship Option of the Concentration. The Internship Option will require that the student complete an Internship, Law 51.459. Students who complete the Concentration with an Internship will receive the notation on their transcript and degree: B.A. (Honours) in Law with a Concentration in Law, Policy and Government: Internship. The Internship will be a one-term full-time employment arrangement in which students will work for a government department or a governmental or non-governmental organization in an area that will enable them to integrate academic and practical aspects of law relating to policy in government decision-making. Only a limited number of internships will be available, so that eligibility to enroll for this Option will be restricted. Students wishing to complete this Option must apply to the Law Department no later than the date specified by the Department before entering their fourth year of studies. Students must normally be eligible for fourth year standing to register in the Internship, and have a Law GPA of 8.0 or better. Acceptance into the Internship Option will be competitive. Students can be considered for an internship only if they are eligible to work in Canada. The Internship will count as 1.0 credit towards the degree, and will require the submission of a written project report to be evaluated by the Internship supervisor, in addition to the completion of the work component. Students are normally expected to complete at least one term of full-time studies following the completion of the Internship. Students may register in only 0.5 additional credits while completing the Internship requirement. Students will normally only be entitled to complete one internship.

The Concentration is open to students in all Honours Law programs as well as those in the B.A. program.
