The Centre for Law, Technology and Society offers supervisors in French and English and in Civil Law and Common Law. Most of our Faculty Members are experts in one or more foreign jurisdictions, international law and comparative studies.
All of our Faculty Members are affiliated with one of the two sections of the Faculty of Law and are authorized to supervise doctoral candidates. Feel free to contact them directly to discuss supervision availability prior to your admission.
The PhD is an advanced degree that leads to the preparation of a research thesis. The goal of the University of Ottawa’s doctoral program in Law is to develop autonomous academics and lawyers who will contribute to the advancement of knowledge in their particular field of law through the research they conduct during the program and thereafter. The program aims to foster an environment in which each student can acquire the necessary skills and knowledge for the successful completion of a thesis, including the design, development and implementation of a research framework and the mastery of those theoretical and methodological sources relevant to the field of research.
