Prerequisites:

These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
    Only applicants demonstrating excellent academic ability will be considered for admission to the doctor of civil law (D.C.L.) program. Candidates must hold both a Bachelor of Laws degree and a Master of Laws degree. Normally a with-thesis Master of Laws is required. Applicants not holding such a degree are generally not admitted directly to the D.C.L. program, but are required first to complete the LL.M. degree (thesis option) with distinction. Admission decisions to the doctoral programs are always dependent on the availability of a suitable supervisor. Candidates enrolled in the McGill Master's program may apply to the D.C.L. program before completing their Master's degree. If the application is successful, the Graduate Admissions Committee may waive in exceptional circumstance the requirement of finishing an LL.M. program before becoming a doctoral candidate.
