Joint Law Degree Programs

Location: TBA

Why go to law school and get just one degree? Three of the six Ontario law schools now have joint LL.B./J.D. programs. These programs allow you to earn both U.S. and Canadian law degrees. Representatives from various law schools will be attending to explain their programs and to answer questions. The final list of participants will probably not be finalized until May 27, but for the moment you can expect:

Virginia Shea - Director of the LL.B./J.D. program at the University of Windsor and the University of Detroit

The University of Ottawa and Osgoode Hall have indicated they will be sending a representative.
