Note: LL.M. theses must be prepared in the general format and style prescribed by the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Students should refer to the "Thesis Guidelines" available on that faculty’s web site.
DRAFT VERSIONS OF LLM THESES PRIOR TO ORAL EXAMINATIONS
Draft copies of LL.M. theses submitted to examining committee members prior to oral examinations must be in paper format unless a committee member has expressed a preference for an electronic copy.
FINAL VERSIONS OF LLM THESES AFTER COMPLETION OF ORAL EXAMINATIONS
The Faculty of Graduate Studies collects theses for forwarding to the National Library of Canada and the University of Calgary Archives. LLM students should refer to the Faculty of Graduate Studies web site for instructions concerning the submission of paper or digital final versions of theses.
The format in which the final version of the supervisor’s copy of the thesis is to be submitted is a matter of the supervisor’s discretion. Unless a supervisor expresses a preference for a different format, LLM students should submit one soft cover paper version, perfect bound (paperback).
The Faculty of Law will collect two final versions of each LLM thesis for forwarding to the Law Library, one for their Special Collections and one for circulation. Both of these copies shall be bound paper versions with a hardcover. The Faculty will not sign the "Departmental Recommendation for Convocation of Thesis Students" until the two copies have been received in the required format.
