Program details

Overview

The Licentiate in Law (LLL) is an undergraduate civil law program offered by the Civil Law Section of the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Law, totalling 99 units. It covers private and public law, both domestic and international, combining legal theory with practice, and examines the historical, social, economic and political origins of law alongside its current state. The program is recognized by the Barreau du Québec and the Chambre des notaires du Québec. Co-operative education is available, and students may add an optional 30-unit minor on top of the 99 required program units. The Licentiate in Law is also offered in combination with other credentials, including an Honours BSocSc in International Development and Globalization and an MBA. The program is offered in French only, at the University of Ottawa.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission to the Licentiate in Law (LLL) requires one of: a Diplôme d'études collégiales (DEC) from Quebec's Ministère de l'Éducation with a minimum average of 80%; a two-year diploma from an Ontario college of applied arts and technology (or an equivalent technology institute in another province) with a minimum average of 80%; the equivalent of one university year (minimum 30 credits) with a minimum average of 78%; or qualifying as a mature applicant. Applicants whose prior education was in English must pass a written French-proficiency test after admission, since the LLL is delivered in French. A 1% bonus is added to the admission average for a completed master's degree, and 2% for a completed master's and doctorate. Students in the general certificate in law must complete its 30 credits before applying to transfer into the LLL. This line also governs entry into the combined LLL/BSocSc International Development and Globalization and LLL/MBA programs, whose additional (Social Sciences or MBA) component is governed by that program's own separate requirements.
