Our commitment to increasing access to legal services for Canadians starts with training lawyers who possess a diverse range of skills and who are capable of working in a wide range of professional sectors. It’s imperative that legal education embraces the diverse paths that graduates take to practice. This is a crucial aspect of our applied and integrated learning approach.

Our IPC-designated program equips our students with the various competencies required by the Law Society of Ontario (LSO) regardless of chosen licensing stream. The practice components of the IPC are delivered within a highly-structured educational setting and with applied learning beginning in the first year itself. 

Our co-teaching model pairs leading faculty with skilled practitioners in the classroom for an applied learning experience, melding rigorous legal theory with real-world experience. Our experiential courses expose our students to the practical day-to-day business of lawyering coupled with mentoring opportunities at every turn. These pedagogical innovations are complemented by a 15-week professional placement overseen by a faculty member during the final year of the program.
