Law Focus Week Workshops

The Faculty of Law would like to acknowledge the McCarthy Tétrault Fund for Innovative Legal Education in support of Focus Week Workshops. 

The one-credit workshops are taught in an intensive period and offer an opportunity to critically analyze and develop relevant skills for experts in the law, such as negotiation, mediation, project management, community mobilization, policy analysis, empirical research, entrepreneurship, financial analysis, and the like. Due to the intensive nature of the Focus Week Workshops, attendance is mandatory. 

Focus Week Workshops are graded pass/fail. 

All other courses (except 1st year courses) are suspended during the week. Fall 2023 Focus Week will take place October 16-20, 2023 & Winter 2024 Focus Week will take place February 26-March 1, 2024. 
 
Focus Week Workshop courses for the Fall term will open on August 10, 2023 at 1pm.

Focus Week Workshop courses for the Winter term will open on December 4, 2023 at 2pm.

Students must drop Winter FWW by the add/drop deadline, January 16, 2024 at 11:59pm. Alternatively, if you see available spaces, please e-mail us at sao.law [at] mcgill.ca to be added manually to the course, no later than February 22, 2024 at 3pm.
