"The Calgary Curriculum prepared me well for my summer position at a law firm in terms of the substantive content of the law and valuable opportunities to write memos and factums. All of my professors were fast to point out real life scenarios in which the law would be applicable, which was especially helpful for the litigation rotation."

-Tiffany Bennett, student, Faculty of Law
