LLM in General Law (Thesis or Non-Thesis)

The LLMÌýprogram, whether Thesis or Non-Thesis, offers an outstanding opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Law community by giving them maximum latitude in designing their program of study.

Most students enrol in the LLMÌýNon-Thesis program. It is geared toward students who wish to explore advanced courses in law and/or who wish to better learn about North American legal culture. The program requires coursework as well as a research project.

The LLMÌýThesis program is geared toward students who wish to continue their legal education primarily through research. In addition to some courses, students focus on the production of a thesis evaluated by an examiner, but without the requirement of a thesis defence.
