Students complete a standard first year of legal studies prior to the first work term.
The final two years of the LL.B. degree program consist of four terms of study and three additional work terms. The Co-op program increases the length of the LL.B. degree by four to eight months. They have well-developed legal research and writing skills. As a result of the immediacy of their legal education and their ties to faculty, co-op students have knowledge of recent developments in the law. In addition, the co-op student brings a fresh perspective to the work place.
