At Université de Moncton in Moncton, Canada, Juris Doctor is offered as a master's degree in Law programme. The programme runs for 3 years, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 15,761 per year (CAD 8,601 per year for local students).
The Juris Doctor (J.D.) is a three-year, full-time, 90-credit program delivered at the Moncton campus, with an enrolment cap of 50 students. Mandatory coursework (48 credits) covers foundational areas of common law, including contracts, property, criminal law, constitutional law, torts, statutory interpretation, administrative law, civil procedure, evidence, and professional responsibility; elective courses (42 credits) include a small allocation of trial-skills and theoretical courses alongside a broader elective bank. The program combines theoretical instruction with experiential learning through case analysis, mock trials, internships, and community engagement connected to law and justice. It aims to give graduates the knowledge and skills required for eligibility to practise law in Canada's common law provinces, with particular attention to training jurists able to serve francophone minority communities. Admission requires a bachelor's degree from a recognized Canadian university or equivalent, a minimum cumulative average of 2.80 on a 4.30 scale over the final three years of study, a minimum grade of C+ in a designated French course, two reference letters, and a completed faculty questionnaire. The program suits bilingual students pursuing legal careers who want to practise common law while serving Acadian and other francophone communities.
