"OsgoodePD’s Professional LLM in General Law program gave me the academic experience I was looking for, with a diverse selection of courses allowing me to engage in a comprehensive review of advanced business law issues. The faculty is a well-balanced blend of top academic researchers and leading practitioners, who offered stimulating theoretical discussions alongside valuable practical knowledge. Having practised law abroad, this program was a meaningful step in my career growth."

"A General Law [LLM] is a great way for a relatively established lawyer to supplement their existing skills or branch out into a new practice area. As a litigator, it was very useful for me to learn about alternative dispute resolution. It allowed me to deepen my level of understanding of mediation, and I think it helped to shape my perspective in other areas. You’re taking courses which inspire you and you’re making great contacts in the field. The professors at Osgoode were outstanding, and many of them are still mentors to me today."

"I didn’t want to use the LLM just for accreditation. I wanted to try to focus on areas of the law that I was interested in and that I could use in my practice. The content is amazing, but so are the people you will meet and the network that you will create in an industry you want to enter or grow your practice in. The administration made a genuine effort to accommodate my needs and consider my interests and helped me design a program that reflected those. The opportunities Osgoode gave me were amazing."
