Program Overview

The Bachelor of Arts in Justice and Legal Studies provides students with a clear understanding of law and judicial processes in Canada and a global context and allows students to critically evaluate, using various and interdisciplinary conceptions of justice, the relationship between legal institutions, society, politics, and governance.

The core of the Justice and Legal Studies Major draws on work in law and politics, socio-legal studies, political science and other disciplinary traditions to provide students with a practical understanding of the operation of law and legal institutions in both a local and global context. It also encourages students to evaluate how law and legal institutions impact, shape, and are shaped by actors and power dynamics in government and society.

The Areas of Emphasis allow students to study law, justice and legal institutions in various interdisciplinary contexts. Five Areas of Emphasis are available:

  • Canadian Politics and Governance
  • Global Relations and Governance
  • Gender and Sexuality
  • Arts and Humanities
  • Business and Management

Students are expected to choose their Area of Emphasis by the end of the third semester.

The Co-op program in Justice and Legal Studies is a four and a half year program, including four work terms. Students must complete a Fall, Winter and Summer work term, and must follow the academic work schedule as outlined below.
