Western University - Faculty of Law

Western’s Faculty of Law is one of the top law schools in Canada. We offer a three-year Juris Doctor (JD) degree program, as well as combined degrees in several disciplines. Our depth of faculty expertise, our rich array of academic, practical, and international educational opportunities, and our keen appreciation for the modern law school curriculum, make the program at Western Law an exciting, dynamic, and enriching experience. The Small Group Program, which provides an intensive, interactive, supportive learning environment, lies at the heart of our approach to legal education. First-year students take a course in a group of 18-22 students, led by a full-time faculty member with the support of teaching assistants. Unique to Western Law is our four-week January term, where first-year students focus on skills training and upper-year students focus on one course selected from a broad range of options. While we are known for our strengths in Business Law and Intellectual Property Law, our students succeed in career paths as diverse as our course offerings. Western Law is strongly committed to excellence and diversity. Accordingly, our application policies, which allow applicants to show their potential in a variety of ways, are designed to produce a mix of students with diverse backgrounds and experiences, whose enthusiasm make Western Law a truly remarkable place.
