Application deadlines:

• Given the large number of applications we receive from students at DAL, UNB and UdeM, we ask that applicants wait until January so marks may be included in your initial online application.

• We invite students from all other law schools to apply in October.
• You will be expected to submit first semester marks when they are made available.
• Please submit marks by email to Janet Zed, Manager Student Programs, at jzed@stewartmckelvey.com.
