"The LLM program helped me to not only broaden my professional network, but also to broaden the lens through which I look at criminal law in Canada. In my practice, I’m making more connections about how the law can be applied and I’m doing it with more confidence. I was 13 years out when I applied and started the program, so I felt like I was on my feet and knew what I was doing. This is great for experienced practitioners who are thinking about what’s next on the horizon, how to test themselves, broaden their networks and become a better writer."

"I often wondered how I would balance the program with the stressful demands of private practice. However, I can say confidently that I struck a successful balance due to the flexibility, support and encouragement from my professors, the administrative staff and my colleagues. The experience of Osgoode's Criminal Law & Procedure LLM program was a challenge that I enjoyed and will be a memorable event in my educational and professional career."

"Take the program if you are interested in re-affirming your interest in the law.  The program is enjoyable for those who are motivated. Clients might not appreciate the extra letters after your name but having a second degree in law will boost your profile and recognition amongst your peers and those who appreciate a more cerebral approach to law."
