Transferring to the Justice and Legal Studies BA Program
The Justice and Legal Studies program (JLS) is an interdisciplinary program administered by the Department of Political Science. As such it benefits from being part of one of the premier law and politics departments in Canada.
In the JLS program, you'll evaluate how justice and legal institutions both shape and are shaped by government and society. You'll learn how the law and legal processes can either enhance or frustrate the pursuit of justice and the goal of improving life.
