Court and Tribunal Administration

(Articulated)

Program Description

This program is designed to train professional administrators and clerks for courts and quasi-judicial administrative tribunals.

On successful completion of all the elements of LGL201, including full attendance, students will receive an Alternative Dispute Resolution Certificate from the School of Legal and Public Administration.

Admission Requirements

Program Eligibility:

• Substantial completion of a B.A. from the Law and Society program of York University.

Note: Although not required for admission, a high degree of computer literacy and keyboarding skills at 35 w.p.m. are recommended.

Your Career

Graduates may find employment with the Ministry of the Attorney General (which administers Ontario’s court system), the Federal Court, the Supreme Court of Canada or with regulatory agencies and tribunals.

Articulation Program

The articulated version of the Court and Tribunal Administration program is a special, two-semester program available, (pursuant to an articulation agreement between Seneca College and York University) only to graduates of the Law and Society Program of York University.

Keyboarding Requirement

All students are required to be able to keyboard at 50 w.p.m. before graduation from the program. It is the responsibility of each student to attain the required level of proficiency independently.

Field Placement

Students in the program who have fulfilled all necessary academic requirements will participate in a four-week unpaid field placement for practical experience. Students being placed in a court or government setting will have to provide a police clearance certificate.

The Importance of Learning Skills

Student success in college requires well developed learning skills (such as being able to work independently, participate in a team, be well-organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic achievement. While it is expected that applicants would have developed these skills through previous education and life experiences, Seneca offers support to assist students with further development of these important skills.
