Description:

The University of Ottawa offers a unique four-year dual credential program that allows participants to obtain both the Canadian and the American law degrees. This program is offered jointly by the University of Ottawa and our partner schools in the U.S. Participants spend two years at Ottawa and two years at American University (Washington College of Law) in Washington D.C. This is the only program in Canada that allows the students to obtain a U.S. law degree while paying tuition at regular Canadian law student rates during the entire program. Upon completion, students obtain a law degree from each law school, which opens the door to the full practice of law in the U.S. and Canada.
