The LLM in Labour Relations and Employment Law is designed to give students an in-depth and a broad knowledge of the labour and employment policy principles, and the legal, economic and social considerations, that underlie our workplace systems. An interdisciplinary faculty including experienced practitioners brings both theoretical and practical perspectives.
The degree requirements will be satisfied upon the completion of 36 credits.
The 36 credits can be obtained by either coursework or a blend of coursework
and a Major Research Paper (70 pages). Students who elect to do the degree by coursework only must write a Significant Research Paper (30 pages) as the means of evaluation in one of the courses within the specialization.
The Advanced Legal Research Workshop is required for all students who wish to complete a Major Research Paper. Please note that this will not count towards the 36 credits required to complete the degree.
Courses will be offered in an intensive format (typically three to five consecutive days). Videoconferencing is available for some courses, although occasional attendance in person in Toronto is required (refer to the schedule for specific details on each course).
Note: Faculty, curriculum, course descriptions and degree requirements are subject to change without notice.
