"This has been an exceptionally good experience, aided by top-notch faculty
and wonderful program support"
Jim Thistle, Student, LLM in General Law
Many courses are available by Distance Learning
Program Director: Professor Neil Brooks, Osgoode Hall Law School
Osgoode Professional Development’s various LLM specializations provide graduate level learning
across a number of disciplines. In the Part-time General LLM, you will choose courses from the
specializations being offered during your time of study. You will have the flexibility to build a program
that includes two or three major areas of interest. Please note that not all specializations are offered at
the same time.
Degree Requirements
There are two options for completing this degree:
Option I
- 30 credits of coursework chosen from the specializations offered during your period of enrollment in the
program;
- Advanced Legal Research Workshop; and
- An independent Major Research Paper (70 pages) [6 credits].
Option II
- 36 credits of coursework chosen from the specializations offered during your period of enrollment in the
program; and
- A significant research paper (30 pages) completed for one of the courses.
Students in the General LLM must make their course selection based on schedule availability and selections are subject to review by the Program Director. Please note that not every course is available in any given term and that students in a specialization will have priority for courses in that program. Due to the nature of the ADR program, a limited number of ADR courses are available to General LLM students.
Curriculum
Courses can be offered in a combination of intensive (typically three consecutive days including one Saturday) and weekly format.
Program Length
The program length will vary depending on the number of credits completed each term. For example, by taking six credits per term the LLM can be completed in six terms (2 years).
Start Date
This program may be started at the beginning of any term (September, January or May). Contact us for further details.
