Courses Offered
The College of Law Spring and Summer Law Courses for Indigenous Students - An eight-week course offered to provide Indigenous students from across Canada an opportunity to study Property Law before starting law school. Most Canadian law schools recognize the Spring and Summer Program for a first-year Property Law credit in law school. Having this course prior to law school equips the law student with legal skills to be successful in law school and lightens the course load in first year.
Students who will be attending the University of Saskatchewan will receive credit (8 credit units) for these courses upon successful completion, thereby reducing their course loadin the 2022/2023 academic year. Students attending other institutions are encouraged toseek letters of permission to enroll at the University of Saskatchewan to ensure that creditfor these courses will be recognized.
