| Prerequisites Notes | Only applicants demonstrating excellent academic ability will be considered for admission to the doctor of civil law (D.C.L.) program. Candidates must hold both a Bachelor of Laws degree and a Master of Laws degree. Normally a with-thesis Master of Laws is required. Applicants not holding such a degree are generally not admitted directly to the D.C.L. program, but are required first to complete the LL.M. degree (thesis option) with distinction. Admission decisions to the doctoral programs are always dependent on the availability of a suitable supervisor. Candidates enrolled in the McGill Master's program may apply to the D.C.L. program before completing their Master's degree. If the application is successful, the Graduate Admissions Committee may waive in exceptional circumstance the requirement of finishing an LL.M. program before becoming a doctoral candidate. | | |

| Description | The Doctor of Civil Law program is centred around the doctoral thesis, which develops a substantive and original contribution to legal research and knowledge under the supervision of a faculty member. Many doctoral candidates intend on pursuing an academic career, and develop their approach to pedagogy, research, and writing while at McGill.
