ADMISSION TO THE PRACTICE OF LAW

The requirements for admission to the practice of law vary from province to province. Consequently, a student wishing to practice law in any province other than Ontario should contact the Secretary of the appropriate Law Society before applying to the Faculty of Law at The University of Western Ontario.

In Ontario, the Bar Admission Course is entered after graduation and consists of a ten-month service under articles to a solicitor and two teaching terms. The teaching terms may take place prior to the beginning of articles or upon completion of articles and may be completed in London, Toronto or Ottawa. The teaching terms of the Bar Admission Course are intended to complement both the articling and law school experiences.

Requirements for the practice of law in Ontario are set by the Law Society of Upper Canada, and may be obtained from the Secretary of the Law Society, 130 Queen Street West, Toronto, M5H 2N6.
