Indigenous Peoples and the Law (IPL) is a six week, fully online, self directed course that builds foundational understanding of Indigenous legal traditions, their interaction with Canadian law and practical frameworks for reconciliation that is essential knowledge for ethical legal practice.
Developed with the National Committee on Accreditation (NCA) for internationally trained lawyers, IPL helps candidates meet NCA requirements and prepare for entry into a Canadian common law Bar admission process.
Provided by the Canadian Centre for Professional Legal Education (CPLED), the admission will be granted on a priority basis for students who provide proof of an NCA Assessment Report. Students without an Assessment Report may be granted admission at the sole discretion of CPLED.
The course features interactive modules, readings, videos, reflection tasks, quizzes, and a proctored final assessment, with clear completion thresholds to ensure competency in Indigenous perspectives, historical context, ethical responsibilities, and key legal frameworks.
