Undergraduate Law DegreesAcademically, at the undergraduate level, the Faculty offers a Bachelor of Laws (LLB); the latter may be combined with a Master of Business Administration degree. LLB students will have the opportunity to take optional courses from over 18 areas of law. Upper year LLB students may earn course credit via applied research opportunities under the supervision of a Faculty member, competitive moot court competitions, registering in an out-of-faculty course, or working on the Alberta Law Review. Moreover, participation in Student Legal Services and/or Pro Bono Students Canada can 'serve as unofficial training' and practical learning grounds for students.
Graduate Law DegreesAt the graduate level, the Faculty affords a Master of Laws (LLM) degree and a Graduate Diploma in Law. The Diploma is primarily designed for individuals, especially 'members of Canadian law societies and other legally qualified persons' who possess an undergraduate law degree and aspire to further their legal education without pursuing a LLM. Furthermore, both LLB and LLM students may concentrate their respective studies on Health Law by taking specialized courses via the Health Law Institute, which is affiliated with the Faculty of Law.
Students may also benefit academically through the specialized research and publications of the other 4 institutes with which the Faculty is associated including the Alberta Law Reform Institute, Canadian Forum on Civil Justice, Centre for Constitutional Studies, and International Ombudsman Institute. Furthermore, the Faculty's John A. Weir Memorial Law Library offers a number of rare volumes that may be of interest to students, and alumni, in their academic and research endeavors. Among the more notable of these are pre-19th century English and American materials and pre-Confederation Canadian titles including rare English cases and statutes and legal dictionaries and treatises.
