Pre-Law
The Pre-Law Course takes place over four-weeks and is for admitted IB&M applicants, usually offered during the month of May.
The focus of Pre-Law is to provide an intensive introduction to the legal research, reasoning and writing skills critical to success at law school. Pre-law also evaluates students for admissions purposes, and students in Pre-Law must successfully complete the course in order to proceed to Dalhousie University Schulich School of Law in September. [Applicants with particularly high academic qualifications may be given the choice as to whether or not they wish to take the Pre-Law course.]
Attendance is mandatory. It is recommended that students do not take on outside employment during Pre-Law. Limited funding may be available for students who demonstrate financial need. There is no tuition cost for Pre-Law. Materials are provided to all students in Pre-Law.
