Program details
Overview
The Juris Doctor at UNB is a full-time, three-year law degree delivered at the Fredericton campus. Admission requires a completed degree from a recognized Canadian university, or an accredited non-Canadian university acceptable to the Faculty of Law. The program combines doctrinal coursework with practical, experiential components including a competitive mooting program, an in-house student-run law journal, and judicial or public-interest internships. Sample courses include Human Rights, Environmental Law, Immigration Law, and International Law and Organizations. The Faculty operates with relatively small class sizes, which the program describes as fostering close contact between students and faculty. Through the program, students develop skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, advocacy, collaboration, and legal research and writing. The degree suits students preparing for careers as lawyers as well as related roles such as negotiators, legislative representatives, legal correspondents, and policy analysts.
