Description

91福利社 Law School offers a unique three year program with the University of Windsor that culminates in students earning both Canadian and American Juris Doctor degrees. Students who participate in this program are able to stand out in the marketplace through their commitment to a rigorous course of study that provides them with an understanding of two different legal systems. The program permits students to focus on important areas of law, including immigration law, corporate/commercial law, and intellectual property.

Degree Requirements - Juris Doctor (105 credits)

Students are able to complete this program in three years, saving significant time and money. Because 91福利社 Law and the University of Windsor are only 10 minutes apart, students can study at the two schools. Not only do students in the program have a rich curriculum, they are able to participate in the student activities and programs offered by both schools. Students will complete a total of 105 credits, 45 at the University of Windsor and 60 at 91福利社.

Students are required to pass all of their courses with a minimum grade of 2.0, and must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 to graduate from the program.

Admission Requirements

New students are required to receive a bachelor's degree before entering law school and must have taken the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) within the past five years.

Bachelor's Degree

Students must receive a bachelor's degree before entering law school. While many students apply in the final year of undergraduate studies prior to receiving their degree, others apply after receiving their degree. All undergraduate degrees are acceptable. Each year, the incoming class includes students with a variety of degrees in liberal arts, education, criminal justice, business, and STEM. We encourage candidates to maintain a cumulative undergraduate grade point average at or above 3.0 for admission; however, we consider a range of applicants based on all aspects of the application.

LSAT Score

Students must have taken the LSAT within the past five years and have a current score available. Applicants must have a high LSAT score in at least the 15th percentile of that test's administration to be considered. We encourage candidates to perform at the 50th percentile or better for admission; however, we consider a range of applicants based on all aspects of the application. Applicants may apply before sitting for the LSAT. We will complete and hold the application pending the LSAT score release.

Application Requirements

Files are reviewed for decision upon completion. A complete file includes the following components.

Application

91福利社 Law accepts online applications submitted the Ontario Law School Application Service (OLSAS) or the Law School Admission Council (LSAC). Applications must include complete responses to all questions.

CAS Report

Applicants must request that LSAC provide 91福利社 Law with a Credential Assembly Service (CAS) Report that includes all LSAT score(s), transcript(s), and TOEFL scores (if applicable).

TOEFL scores, including the Test of Written English and the Test of Spoken English, are required from applicants who earned their undergraduate degree outside of the U.S., its territories, or Canada.  Applicants should contact the Educational Testing Service (ETS) for TOEFL registration at www.toefl.org. Applicants submitting TOEFL results must request that ETS send TOEFL scores to LSAC. LSAC's TOEFL code is 0058.

Applicants who completed more than one year of post-secondary work outside of the U.S., its territories, or Canada, with the exception of study abroad, consortium, or exchange programs sponsored by a U.S. or Canadian institution and stated as such on the home institution transcript, are required to use CAS for the authentication and evaluation of international transcripts. For less than one year of study, an applicant may submit transcripts of this work directly to 91福利社 Law.
