Overview

Liberal Arts Diploma - Law and Justice Studies

The two-year Law and Justice Studies diploma program at Selkirk College is designed to prepare you for a career in the legal profession. 

You will acquire the skills, training and support to strengthen your future career in various legal professions, including law, law enforcement, paralegal, criminology, advocacy, social justice and legal security.

As a graduate of this program, you will be well situated to transfer your first two years of post-secondary study into a receiving institution of your choice to continue your legal studies and training. 

You will be of great service to any community you choose to work in after graduation, but most importantly, rural communities need greater access to justice for their citizens.

This program is learner-focused and accountable to student needs through core courses designed for future legal studies and a significant range of flexibility and choice. 

Legal professionals come from a broad range of academic backgrounds, and law programs emphasize the importance of students pursuing their interests in undergraduate education with electives each year. 

The unique curriculum includes conflict resolution, transformative justice and a focus on issues specific to legal systems in rural areas.
