Master of Laws in Notarial Law [Course Based] (Regular path)

Reflecting Canada's bilingual and trijuridical legal system (civil law, common law, aboriginal law), as well as its location in Canada's Capital, the Faculty of Law offers graduate programs leading to a master's degree and a doctoral degree in Law.

The graduate studies in law are a joint endeavour of the Common Law and Civil Law Sections. We welcome law graduates from both legal systems and from countries around the world. Courses are offered in English or in French, and occasionally in both languages. Students may readily complete their graduate studies while learning something of Canada's other legal and linguistic traditions.

The programs are offered in English and in French, and sometimes in a combination of both. In accordance with University of Ottawa Policy, examinations, assignments and the research paper or thesis may be written in either English or French. The programs are governed by the general regulations in effect for graduate studies.

To be considered for admission to the master of laws (LLM) program, applicants must have an undergraduate law degree from a Canadian university or an equivalent foreign law degree or, exceptionally, a degree deemed equivalent by the program's Admissions Committee. Candidates must have completed their undergraduate law degree with an average of at least 70% (B), calculated in accordance with graduate studies guidelines. Particular attention is paid to relevant legal experience, prior research and letters of reference. Please review the graduate studies in Law website.
