Students who are currently studying at another law school may apply to enrol for a maximum of one year at Osgoode Hall Law School on a Letter of Permission basis.  Although such students would be studying at Osgoode, their work would be credited toward the JD degree at the “home” law school.  The law school giving the Letter of Permission would, of course, reserve the right to approve the student’s program of study with regard to both course load and content.  Students who are admitted on a Letter of Permission basis are not eligible to transfer into the JD program.

Only students who have obtained a minimum “B” average in their previous law study are considered for admission as Letter of Permission applicants  (successful candidates however, typically have at least a B+ average).  An indication of class rank or standing should be included in at least one reference, if not included on the transcript.  At least one academic reference, from a law professor who can comment on the student’s abilities, must be provided.
