The last 25 years have marked a period of revolutionary change within Criminal Law. This practice area seems to be
growing ever more pervasive, with the proliferation of new crimes and quasi-criminal regulatory offences: corruption,
enterprise and transnational crime, and global terrorism are blurring the distinctions drawn by national borders and
between criminal law, corporate/regulatory law and matters of national security.
This immensely popular and rigorous program is designed to provide students with an opportunity to explore the
pressing and challenging issues affecting the Canadian criminal justice system. Students will examine the historical
roots of the institutions and practices to current social science and doctrinal approaches to them.
The degree requirements will be satisfied upon the completion of 36 credits.
The 36 credits can be obtained by either coursework or a blend of coursework
and a Major Research Paper.
| The Legal Research Methods course is required for all students who wish to complete a Major Research Paper. Please note that this will not count towards the 36 credits required to complete the degree. |
Courses will be offered in a combination of weekly and intensive formats. Videoconferencing is available for most
courses, although occasional attendance in person in Toronto is required (refer to website for specific details on each
course).
Note: Faculty, curriculum, course descriptions and degree requirements are subject to change without notice.
