Program details
Overview
The thesis-based Master of Laws (LLM) at the University of Calgary allows students to produce a substantial piece of original legal scholarship under faculty supervision, with a general LLM and a specialization in Natural Resources, Energy and Environmental Law (NREEL) available. Students complete two core courses, the Graduate Seminar in Legal Research and Methodology and the Graduate Seminar in Legal Theory, plus two elective courses (NREEL students take electives within the specialization), and normally spend two consecutive terms from September to April in residence. The program culminates in a thesis of approximately 100-125 pages, defended at an open oral examination. The Faculty of Law has long-standing strength in natural resources, energy and environmental law, as well as business and tax law, criminal law, Indigenous law, human rights, and technology law, and is home to the Journal of Environmental Law and Practice and the Canadian Institute of Resources Law. The program was ranked among the LLM Guide's top 10 energy law programs worldwide in 2019.
