Law MSW JD Joint Degree Program

The objective of the MSW/JD program is to promote the integration of law and social work through an interdisciplinary commitment to social justice. Students who are interested in social justice will learn the skills, theories and practical tools to equip them to be competent leaders and agents of change within and between the diverse fields of law and social work. 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. The mission of the School of Social Work is to promote social justice through quality professional education, advocacy, community partnerships, and the development and dissemination of knowledge. The School s understanding of social justice and its mandate in social work education finds its roots in the profession s historical commitment to serve the interests of oppressed and vulnerable populations and a set of fundamental values stated in the profession s Code of Ethics.
