The Curriculum
The
Law School's size enables it to offer an exceptionally rich and
varied curriculum with opportunities to explore theoretical and
policy perspectives integrated with substantive law, legal analysis
and lawyering skills in a wide range of subject areas. With more
than a hundred courses, seminars and special programs available,
students can select an academic program substantially tailored to
their own academic interests and career aspirations. The Law School
offers a number of special academic programs. The Intensive Program
in Poverty Law at Parkdale Community Legal Services enables students
to spend a term studying and working under the supervision of a
team of academics, practising lawyers and community workers within
a community clinic oriented to law reform. The Law School also offers
advanced intensive programs with clinical placements in Criminal
Law, in Immigration and Refugee Law, and in Lands, Resources and
First Nations Governments. As well, the School offers the Advanced
Business Law Workshop and clinical programs in Trial Advocacy, Appellate
Mooting, Legal Drafting, and Negotiation. Other Clinical opportunities
include the Small Business Law Clinic (providing advice and assistance
to referred individuals who are establishing small businesses),
the Innocence Project (providing assistance to the wrongfully convicted
and the Mediation Project (training students who provide mediation
services at the Small Claims Court). Students who seek to study
the law in action, to develop lawyering skills, to engage in law
reform and to understand the law from a theoretical and policy perspective,
will find unique learning opportunities at Osgoode Hall Law School.
