Hullo,

I was wondering if anyone has any personal experience regarding the thesis based LLM programme offered by UBC. What areas of law is UBC known for?

Cheers

The law curriculum is quite comprehensive-covering all the major areas of law. In particular, it has a strong focus on international, particularly, Asian law.

However, the program is known to be quite academic, rather than professional oriented. For the latter, consider the othe law school in British Columbia-the University of Victoria, one of the finest law schools in Canada despite being relatively young.

UBC has quite a few good profs in different fields....what area are you interested in? I can suggest a prof accordingly....

Professor Paisley is really good for International Natural Resource related law.

Tounsend-Gault for international law generally,

Jannis Sara for Corporate/Security law

Rajan for IP

etc.

UBC is a great p[lace to go to school.....I did my LL.B. there and really enjoyed my time in Vancouver.

Hope that helps.
