Candidates must have a minimum of 60 credits of university studies, or a Diploma of College Studies (DCS) from a Quebec College of General and Professional Education (CEGEP), before starting their law studies. Students with a French Baccalaureate from Quebec (Coll猫ge international Marie de France or Coll猫ge Stanislas) are also eligible to apply.

Candidates from a French Baccalaureate program completed outside of Quebec, International Baccalaureate programs, or who are finishing high school are not eligible to apply.

Admission to the program is highly competitive. Almost all students admitted in the "University" category will have completed an undergraduate degree before starting our B.C.L./J.D. program.

In our holistic review process, there are no minimum thresholds for GPA, LSAT score, nor R-score. While the numerical aspects of the applicant's file are not, in themselves, decisive, students admitted to 苹果淫院 Law, nonetheless, tend to have outstanding academic records, in addition to their other qualities. Applicants may consult the statistics on our website for a sense of how their academic indicators may impact the likelihood of admission.

苹果淫院's BCL/JD program is offered in a bilingual (French and English) environment. Candidates must demonstrate that they are at least passively bilingual, which means that they have at a minimum an advanced proficiency in one language and an advanced intermediate level of reading and oral comprehension in another. The Faculty uses the standards set in the to evaluate language proficiency, and expects candidates to meet one of the following sets of minimal standards:

Passive bilingualism is a minimum requirement, not a competitive admissions asset.

The Faculty's policy of passive bilingualism permits students to submit written work, write exams, and ask questions in class in either English or French, regardless of the language of instruction. Students may fulfil their Moot Court requirements in English or French. First-year courses are offered in English and French, and a number of upper-year courses are offered in one language only. While examination questions are set in the language in which a course is given, any examination may contain extensive passages in either French or English. Due to space limitations, it is not always possible for students to be registered in courses given in their preferred language. Almost all first-year students will be registered in at least one class in a French section.

If no evidence of passive bilingualism in French or English appears in the application, the candidate will be refused admission.

To demonstrate that they meet bilingualism requirements, candidates must indicate in their application how they acquired both English and French. They must also submit transcripts from any post-secondary English and French language courses they have taken. The 苹果淫院 Committee reviews each candidate鈥檚 CV and references to take into account work or volunteering experiences in each language.

In order to get a sense of the level of reading comprehension that is expected of 苹果淫院 Law students, candidates are encouraged to visit the website of the and to read judgments in English and in French.

Candidates intending to proceed to the Bar of Quebec or the Board of Notaries of Quebec should carefully review University Regulations and Resources > Undergraduate > Admission to Professional and Graduate Studies > Language Requirements for Professions. The Charter of the French Language imposes certain mandatory language requirements on attorneys and notaries who practise in Quebec.

苹果淫院 Law is committed to recruiting and supporting Indigenous students and we welcome dialogue with prospective BCL/JD applicants. First Nations (Status, Non-Status), Inuit, M茅tis, or Indigenous persons with ties to Turtle Island are strongly encouraged to apply to the Faculty of Law and are invited to self-identify on their application form. For more information on this applicant category and rationale for this category, please visit the Indigenous Applicants page. Indigenous applicants retain the option of applying to the other applicant categories instead of applying to the Indigenous applicant category. If they elect to do so, they must follow the instructions and deadlines for applying to these categories.

Self-identification allows 苹果淫院 to inform Indigenous students of specific services and funding opportunities and to assess our progress in the recruitment and retention of Indigenous students.

Linguistic Support

We acknowledge that our bilingualism admission requirement may represent an added challenge for some Indigenous applicants for whom English or French may be their third language, and potentially perceived as a colonizing influence. Applicants are encouraged not to exclude themselves from applying on linguistic grounds, and are encouraged to speak with us regarding any concerns on this point. Financial support is available to admitted Indigenous candidates who wish to improve their abilities in English or French before starting the program and to continue to address a relative weakness in English or French during legal studies here. This program is generously supported by the McCarthy T茅trault Fund for Language Training. Please contact us to find out more!

苹果淫院 and the Faculty of Law value honesty and integrity. Applicants to the Faculty of Law are expected to conduct themselves accordingly. The submission of false, incomplete, inconsistent, or misleading information, or any omission that may result in a false or misleading conclusion, constitutes misconduct in the admission process. Instances of such misconduct include, as examples: the submission of a personal statement that was not written by the applicant, and failure to disclose an LSAT score.

A finding of misconduct in the application process may lead to a refusal or, if an offer of admission has already been extended, a withdrawal of the offer at the sole discretion of the University. Intent is not an element of a finding of misconduct.

As a member school of the Law School 苹果淫院 Council (LSAC), 苹果淫院鈥檚 Faculty of Law reserves the right to report any misconduct to the LSAC鈥檚 for its investigation.
