Law — International Human Rights and Development

The structure of McGill's undergraduate law program develops jurists who are well grounded in the fundamental legal concepts of the two major legal traditions of the western world, the civil law and the common law. Students who successfully complete the undergraduate program obtain a double degree of civil law (B.C.L.) and common law (LL.B.). Students can also enrich their program of study with various options or through one of the joint programs in offered by the Faculty of Law, together with the Desautels Faculty of Management or the McGill School of Social Work.The Major Concentration in International Human Rights and Development is articulated around a synthetic skill-set driven by the transversal theme "International Human Rights and Development" and inspired by an interdisciplinary approach.Law and non-law courses are combined with the practical experience acquired during an internship. The required writing of an independent essay allows students to integrate the various academic and clinical strands of the major program, and, more broadly, of legal learning.

Field of study: International Relations and Affairs, Law (LL.B, J.D., B.C.L.)
