Windsor Law’s Master’s program (LL.M) stresses rigorous scholarship, centred on our institutional themes of Access to Justice and Transnational Law. A key feature of the Windsor LL.M is that our students, while enrolled, will make concrete contributions to legal scholarship.

Windsor Law’s LL.M program offers two streams: a one-year regular LL.M and a two-year LL.M with teaching option. Regardless of whether a student is enrolled in the regular LL.M program or the LL.M program with teaching option, the central requirement is the completion of original publishable research submitted as one single document or as a set of related publishable papers addressing a single research question. Students in our unique and innovative LL.M with teaching option stream will complete the University of Windsor’s internationally recognized University Teaching Certificate program as part of their course of study, and will have the opportunity to engage in law teaching, as Teaching Fellows. Teaching Fellows will be carefully selected based on their qualifications and potential to succeed in teaching activities at the Law Faculty.

In addition to students contemplating an academic career, the LL.M. is suitable for legal practitioners interested in developing expertise in a specialized area of law.
