About LL.B./J.D. Programs:

These programs - currently offered at three of the six Ontario law schools (Windsor, Ottawa and Osgoode) provide students with the opportunity to earn both Canadian (LL.B.) and U.S. law degrees (J.D) at the same time. In the case of Windsor the program takes three years and in the case of Ottawa and Osgoode the program takes four years. Windsor, Ottawa and Osgoode have created partnerships with U.S. law schools as follows:

Windsor - University of Detroit

Ottawa - Both Michigan State and American University

Osgoode - New York University Law School (NYU)

I have written articles about these programs in previous newsletters which may be found as follows:
