This program is only offered in French. The Certificate in Indigenous Law program aims to minimize the culture shock experienced by Indigenous learners while studying law. It also aims to enable them to acquire basic legal skills which will help them to successfully complete the Licentiate in Law. However, this is not a professional program like the licentiate.
