Law Co-op Program
The University of Victoria Faculty of Law is the only common law school in Canada to offer a co-op education program. The program allows students to alternate between terms on work placements and scholastic terms after completing their first year. Students in the co-op program have three work terms; students are encouraged to have one placement in each of a private firm, government, and a public interest organization or administrative tribunal. Students are also encouraged to take work placements outside of British Columbia and a number of regular placements are available in places including France, Thailand, Mongolia, Canada's north, and Africa. Although every student who applies to the co-op program has been offered admission in recent years, there is a lottery for who gets to be admitted in time for the summer after first year.
