Orientation 2020

Welcome to the Common Law Program at the University of Ottawa

Dear Incoming 1Ls,

Congratulations and welcome to the English Common Law Program at the University of Ottawa!

We are developing an exciting academic orientation that will prepare you for success in your first year of law school. All materials for the 2020 Orientation have been posted on Brightspace.

The Orientation will include both asynchronous activities and a small number of synchronous activities taking place on September 3, September 4, and September 8, 2020. All events (other than social activities) are mandatory. The events will be close captioned. Where possible, synchronous activities will be recorded and posted in the Brightspace page. A draft schedule has been posted in the Orientation Brightspace page and is available here. Students will receive confidential links to the event through Brightspace on the morning of September 3, 2020. No registration is required.

Please contact the Director of the First Year Program, Jamie Liew (Jamie.Liew@uOttawa.ca), with any orientation-related questions.

We look forward to welcoming you into our vibrant, diverse and inclusive community.

Professor Jamie Chai Yun Liew, Director of the First Year Program
Professor Kyle Kirkup, Orientation Coordinator
