The MSW/JD program allows students who are interested in social justice issues at the intersection of law and social work to obtain both degrees a full year sooner than would be possible had they chosen to pursue the degrees independently. Applicants who hold a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) degree may be able to complete the program in 3 years, while students without a BSW may be able to complete it in 4 years.

At Windsor Law, you will get a challenging, well-rounded legal education focused on both professional and personal development.

We expect our students to not only master the intricacies of the law, but to use their knowledge to actively advocate for social and legal justice in Canada and around the world.

Our two themes - Access to Justice and Transnational Legal Issues – permeate all that we do. They are evident in our admission policy, our curriculum, our commitment to experiential learning and our research.
