The dual BA/LLB degree partnership between ULethbridge and Bond is a game changer, and I wish it had been an option when I went to law school. Not only is the BA/LLB a fast-track program leading to quicker employment, but it also fills a void for Canadians who want a non-traditional path to study and practice law.
