Programs at Western Law

 

Choices abound.

Areas of Concentration
Western has been a national leader among law schools in Canada through the Areas of Concentration.  The Areas of Concentration enable students to combine the breadth of the core curriculum with real depth in a particular subject area. Students who complete an Area of Concentration will have this noted on their transcripts. At present, we offer four Areas of Concentration: Business Law, Taxation, Intellectual  Property, Information and Technology Law and Criminal Law

Combined Degree Programs
