"[W]hen I came across the program and thought, “Oh my, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for all these years!”. Although I’m not a lawyer, I spend a great deal of my time in a lawyer-like capacity; I seem to spend more time conversing with and dealing with lawyers than anyone else. This program felt like a perfect fit for me."

"I chose OsgoodePD for its strong reputation in delivering outstanding post-graduate education, as well as the fact that no other Canadian law school was offering an LLM in banking and financial services. All that I sought to accomplish from the two-year program I gained and much more. My network grew as I formed bonds with diverse professionals from across the country, including individuals from private practice, in-house practitioners, regulators, executives, business people and academics."

"I had thought about doing an executive MBA, or perhaps studying to become a Certified Accountant or Certified Fraud Examiner. This program was within my area of practice. The banking piece in particular – I wanted to get into the theory a little more, dive in, and study this area of the law rather than constantly applying it in court and working with clients. And for me, the other piece was that it was Osgoode; Osgoode is a strong name and enjoys a strong reputation, and getting an LLM from Osgoode means a great deal to me."
