Our Graduate Certificate programs provide advanced legal training over one term of full-time studies to candidates who wish to pursue graduate legal education for a limited period and particular career-related purposes.
Graduate Certificates are awarded upon completion of 15 law course credits. Certificates are course work programs, and no thesis or research project is required. Unlike the LLMÂ and DCL, fees for the certificates are calculated based on the number of credits taken.

Offering advanced training, the Graduate Certificate in Comparative Law is particularly appropriate for jurists who wish to pursue graduate-level studies in areas such as civil, commercial, or human rights law. The Graduate Certificate in Comparative Law is awarded after one full-time term of residence in the Faculty and upon the completion of 15 course credits. In every case, the program is structured to meet individual needs and must be approved by the Associate Dean (Graduate Programs).
