Professional General LLM

Many courses are available by Distance Learning

Program Director

Professor Neil Brooks, Osgoode Hall Law School

Osgoode’s various LLM specializations provide graduate-level learning across a
number of disciplines. In the Professional General LLM, you can choose courses
from specializations being offered during your time of study and have the
flexibility to build a program that includes two or three major areas of interest.

Degree Requirements
The 36 credits can be obtained by a blend of coursework totalling 30 credits plus a Major Research Paper (70 pages) for 6 credits OR all 36 credits can be obtained by coursework only where students must complete a Significant Research Paper (30 pages) in one course. This must be arranged with the instructor at the start of the specific course.

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.

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.
