As an interdisciplinary program, LJSO recommends students consider combined degree programs. Students are therefore encouraged to enter the combined honours, double major or minor programs, which provide opportunities that further integrate their LJSO studies with those of an approved arts or science field, e.g. LJSO and History or LJSO and Political Science. Double majors and combined honours degrees provide additional opportunities for students, in keeping open the possibility that they may pursue graduate studies in more than one area.

To complete the 120 hour Major in LJSO, students are required to take a minimum of 30 and a maximum of 54 credit hours in the major subject. This requirement includes 18 credit hours of LJSO core courses, and a minimum of 12 credit hours of elective courses, 6 of which should be at or beyond the 3000 level, and 3 must be 4000 level. The list of LJSO-approved electives can be found below.

First year students are encouraged to select from existing introductory courses across the arts and social sciences such as ASSC 1300.03 or ASSC 1400.03. It is recommended that selections include the prerequisites for the LJSO courses that are required at the second and third year levels in the contributing disciplines of Political Science, Sociology and/or Anthropology, Philosophy, and History (see below). Students should also make sure that 6 credit hours are taken in courses that satisfy the Writing Requirement (WR). Examples of recommended courses include:

An Honours degree is an alternative version of the undergraduate degree, which involves more intensive鈥攁nd extensive鈥攃oursework within Law, Justice & Society, and requires students to maintain higher grades in relevant courses.

The Honours degree is generally chosen by students planning to pursue graduate studies or a professional degree, but it can be a good choice for students who wish to enjoy the experience of an intensive research project 鈥� the Honours essay (or Honours thesis).

Admission to the program is based entirely on academic performance: specifically, it requires a grade average of B+ (3.30) or higher on LJSO courses.

The Honours program provides the opportunity for students to pursue an independent research project, culminating in an Honours essay [or Honours thesis] of approximately 35 pages in length. After being admitted to the Program, this research project is undertaken in the 4th year of study, in consultation with a supervisor of the student鈥檚 choice. The supervisor is typically a faculty member who is cross-appointed in LJSO, and/or who is teaching in the field of legal studies in any of the contributing disciplines.

To complete the 120 hour Concentrated Honours in LJSO, students must complete the requirements for the BA with a major in Law, Justice & Society, and fulfil the following additional requirements:

1. Honours students are required to take a minimum of 54 and a maximum of 66 credit hours above the 1000 level in LJSO courses (27 credit hours covered by LJSO core courses);

2. Honours students are required to take LJSO 3500: Legal Research and Writing and the Honours Seminar (Both LJSO 0400.00 in the Fall term and LJSO 4000.03 in the Winter term), which involves an independent research project culminating in an Honours essay [or Honours thesis]

3. Honours students are required to take at least one 4^th year seminar course, in addition to the Honours Seminar,  from among the available electives (other than POLI 4390.03).

4. Applicants should have achieved a Grade Point Average of at least 3.3 in their LJSO courses above the 1000 level to be considered for admission.

5. Only courses completed with a grade of 鈥淐鈥� or better will count toward the degree.

Applications for Honours in LJSO are due by May 31st, during the student鈥檚 third year of study, to allow students time to ensure that they have the required courses to complete the degree. Late applications may be accepted, at the approval of the Coordinator or Honours Advisor.

The application, which is the standard form for all programs at Dalhousie, is available .

Once students complete the application, they will submit it to the Honours Advisor (or Program Coordinator) for review and signature, before submitting it to the Registrar鈥檚 office; the address of which is on the top of the form. For students pursuing a Combined Honours, the application will need to be signed by the Honours Advisor of both Programs.

Honours Essay / Honours Seminar

Students in the LJSO Honours program will complete an Honours essay (sometimes called an Honours thesis), under the supervision of a faculty member who is chosen by the student, and who is typically cross-appointed in LJSO from any of the contributing disciplines.  

The Honours essay is an opportunity for students to undertake a more sustained scholarly project, featuring theoretical analysis and/or systematic, empirical research. It normally takes the form of a formal essay of approximately 35 double-spaced pages in length.

Students undertake the Honours essay with guidance and support from a chosen faculty supervisor. Students admitted to the Honours program should consult with the Program Coordinator鈥攗sually early in the fall semester鈥� and identify a faculty supervisor and make arrangements for supervision. Students should expect to meet with their supervisor regularly in the second half of the Fall and through the Winter term, to report on progress and receive advice on the project.

The Honours essay is associated with a formal Honours Seminar course: in the Fall term and in the Winter term, which counts for 3 credit-hours toward the degree. Participation in the Honours Seminar counts toward the "21st grade鈥�, required by the University.

While the expectations may vary from year to year, students participating in the Honours seminar should expect to give a presentation of their work and will also submit the final written thesis; which will be read and evaluated by the supervisor and a second reader.
