Second and Third Years ("Upper Years") Description
In the second and third years of the program, the courses are entirely optional, subject to the following guidelines: students must take a minimum of 60 credit hours over second and third years; take between 13 and 17 credit hours each term; may not take more than two seminars per term; and in either second or third year, all students must successfully complete a seminar, course or other option satisfying the Upper Year Research and Writing Requirement.

Students are, therefore, able to design a course of study especially suited to their own particular interest and career aspirations. One of the advantages which comes from being the largest common-law law school in the country is that we have faculty resources to develop an extremely comprehensive range of courses and seminars for second and third-year students. As well, our location in the city of Toronto enables us to attract adjunct faculty members who are among the finest practitioners in the country. The tremendous growth and development of our curriculum over the last 30 years is a process that continues and reflects the diverse interests of our full-time and adjunct faculty and represents an attempt to enrich the study of law in a variety of ways.

Second and third year students have an opportunity to take part in intensive programs and a clinical legal education curriculum. These programs permit students to engage in real or simulated lawyering roles as part of their course of study. As well, students have the option to participate in three new curricular streams or to engage in specific directed research programs.
