Overview

As a graduate of this Law and Justice Studies program from Selkirk College you will be well situated to transfer your first two years of post-secondary study into a receiving institution of your choice to continue your legal studies and training. You will be of great service to any community you chose to work in after graduation, but most importantly, rural communities in need of greater access to justice for their citizens.

Labour Market Demand

The average age of lawyers in Canada is over 50 years and as a result, we will soon be facing a shortage of lawyers across the country.

This situation is even more critical in rural areas where the number of practicing lawyers is shrinking due to high rates of retirement. In response, there is a growing focus toward easing strain on the legal system in British Columbia through increased training and expansion of responsibilities for paralegals and incentives programs for rural legal professionals.

By directly increasing the number of trained legal professionals with a rural background, our program is helping to solve the “Access to Justice” challenges facing our province today.
