FACULTY OF LAW


HONORS

A student who achieves an average of at least "B" on a full year's work as defined by the program and who is in the top 10% of the class, is named to the Dean's Honor List.

Students in the combined LLB/MBA Program are considered for the Dean's Honor List at the Faculty of Law during their first year of Law and for the Dean's Honor List at the Richard Ivey School of Business during their first year of MBA courses. In each of the third and fourth years of the program, students are considered for the Dean's Honor List at the Faculty of Law on the basis of the courses taken at the Faculty of Law in each particular year. In the fourth year, students are also considered for the Dean's Honor List at the Business School on the basis of the Business courses taken during the last two years.

Students in any year who attend another law school on a letter of permission from Western and students in any year who attend the Faculty of Law on a letter of permission from another law school, are not considered for the Dean's Honor List in that year.

Only the grades earned in courses taken at the Faculty of Law in a particular year (provided those courses total at least 14 credit hours) are used to calculate a student's standing for an overall achievement award in that year.

A student who is on the Dean's Honor List for at least two of the three years at the Faculty of Law and who obtains a cumulative average of at least "B" over the three years shall graduate With Distinction.
