TIME 919 AM 

Dr. Driver, 

Thank you for providing us with the opportunity to speak to 

the issues raised by student members of the Senate Committee 

for Graduate Programs, and giving us an opportunity to respond 

to their concerns. We believe the students raised several 

valid points that we have sought to address in revisions to 

the MA in Applied Legal Studies full program proposal. 

First, it should be noted that, as with other graduate 

programs in the School of Criminology, the proposed program 

will come under the oversight of the School's Graduate Program 

Committee. It will be responsible for ongoing review of the 

new program in due course. 

Second, all of the individuals teaching in the new program 

will be either continuing full-time faculty members, or will 

be individuals designated as adjunct faculty members in the 

School of Criminology. 

Third, we are open to the possibilities of future development 

and program expansion. As resources becoine available and 

student demand develops, we envision the development and 

delivery of elective courses in the program. 

Fourth, the proposal has been amended to include an additional 

requirement in the form of a final exam to be completed during 

the penultimate term of the student's program. The exam 

?

requirement is similar to that required in other graduate 

programs in the university, such as those found in Education 

(EDUC 883) and Economics (ECON 997) . This exam will be set, 

administered and graded by regular, tenure-stream faculty 

within the School of Criminology who are associated with the 

program. 

We believe that these changes will satisfy the concerns of the 

members of the Senate Committee for Graduate Programs, 

including those raised by the student members of the 

committee. Please let me know if you require any further 

clarification of these proposed amendments.

RE Changes to MA Applied Legal Studies Proposal

cc. Peggy Lacasse, Administrative Coordinator. Curriculum

DATE December 12, 2007

TIME 11:23 AM

Mary Ann,

Subsequent to yesterday's meeting of the Senate Committee for Graduate Studies, we have

undertaken to make the requisite changes to the proposal that we believe will satisfy the

concerns expressed at the meeting, and produce a stronger program in the process. Enclosed,

you will find materials reflecting these changes, which must be approved by the Faculty of Arts

and Social Science's Graduate Committee.

First, you will find that the proposal now includes an additional course requirement in the form

of a final exam to be completed during the final term of the student's program. The exam

requirement is similar to that required in other graduate programs in the university, such as

those found in Economics (ECON 997). This exam will assess the students' abilities to show a

mastery and critical engagement with the subject matter of the entire program. This exam will

be set, administered and graded by regular, tenure-stream faculty within the School of

Criminology who are associated with the program. To this end, we have also added Dr. Burtch

to the list of regular tenured faculty affiliated with the program. He has considerable experience

in delivering capstone coursework, and dealing with cohort-based learning. Furthermore, his

research interests in the sociology of law and critical legal studies are a welcome addition to the

program.

Second, you will find an amendment to the proposal indicating that we are willing to develop

additional courses as electives for the program, should funding become available for doing so.

Third, you will find an amendment to the proposed Calendar description reflecting two

important changes: (a) the final exam will be required of all students in the program (as noted

above), and (b) students in the program who do not intend to seek accreditation as a Notary

Public will be able to apply to the Director of Graduate Programs in the School of Criminology

to substitute up to two of the required courses with graduate courses taken elsewhere in the

university, including courses within the School of Criminology.

SlMN Ftt\St:R UNIVERSITY ?

We believe that these changes will result in a significantly improved program, and look forward

to it receiving final approval. Please let me know if you require any further clarification of these

proposed amendments.

All members of the School of Criminology Graduate Program Committee have been apprised

of these proposed changes, and they have unanimously indicated their approval of these

revisions.

Executive Summary

The School of Criminology is proposing a new MA in Applied Legal Studies at

Simon Fraser University to begin September 2008. This extends the School's

foray into legal studies by offering its first graduate program in the legal studies

area. We are proposing a masters degree that will provide the necessary

educational elements necessary for the practice of a Notary Public. It is designed

to ensure that candidates for membership in the Society of Notaries Public of

British Columbia are educated to a suitably high standard, and to integrate with

the field practice (mentoring) necessary to complete the requirements for

qualification as a Notary Public. Completion of the degree will be a prerequisite

for membership in the province's Society of Notaries Public.

The timing of this new program is advantageous for a number of reasons. First,

the existing educational program for Notaries Public, offered through the

University of British Columbia, is in the process of winding down. Second, there

is a perceived need within the notarial profession to require an educational

qualification commensurate with the status and role played by a Notary Public in

contemporary society. Third, the synergies available between the School of

Criminology and the Centre for Online and Distance Education (CODE) provide

the framework within which to develop a unique graduate program that can be

delivered throughout the province where enriched educational and training

experiences, as well as employment opportunities can be found. Fourth, this

development dovetails with SFU's commitment and strategic priority to meet the

/?. ?

increased demand

for

enrolment, particularly through distinctive, innovative,

student-centred learning programs.

The School of Criminology has 32 years of experience in providing

interdisciplinary education and research. It has grown extensively since the

undergraduate criminology program was established in 1975 and the Master of

Arts program was introduced in 1978. The Department of Criminology gained

School status in 1984. A PhD in Criminology was initiated in

1985.

In 2005, the

MA program expanded to incorporate a practicum and project option to

supplement the

traditional thesis option. While legal studies have played a part in

criminology education at SFU from the beginning, the School's move into legal

studies became more focused with the implementation of a Minor in Legal

Studies and a Post Baccalaureate Diploma in Legal Studies in 2006. We currently

have over 70 MA students and over 50 PhD students in the School of

Criminology, as well as one of the largest undergraduate programs in the Faculty

of Arts and Social Sciences.

Criminology has traditionally been in the forefront of promoting distance

education. Since the early 1980s it has been possible for students to complete their

undergraduate major in criminology by distance education. In recent years,

criminology distance education courses have been at the forefront of

incorporating the latest in distance education technology. With support from the

Centre for Online and Distance Education, criminology courses now incorporate

real-time interactive technologies, connecting students with instructional staff in a

manner more closely analogous to classroom instruction than traditionaldistance

learning pedagogies. The MA in Applied Legal Studies (Notaries Public) will take

advantage of our extensive background in both graduate education and distance

delivery to produce a truly unique, world-leading educational experience.

The development of an MA in Applied Legal Studies is a logical extension of

graduate education at SFU in criminology. The proposed program also addresses

the demand throughout the province for individuals with specialized training in

this field.

The program will be based at SFU Surrey. This allows for the natural growth of

graduate and professional studies at the Surrey site, taking advantage of space and

resources available at that location.

Admission Re

q uirements

Enrolment

Admission to the proposed program will be controlled by the university. The SFU

School of Criminology's Graduate Committee will annually review applications

for admission to the program. It is anticipated that almost all of the students who

take this proposed degree will be intent on becoming practicing Notaries Public in

British Columbia. The Society of Notaries Public controls formal admission to

their society. Prospective students who contact the Society of Notaries Public will

be informed of the university's role in controlling admissions, and then vetted by

13.

them for the applicant's suitability to enter their profession before being referred

to the SFU Criminology Graduate Committee. Students contacting the School of

Criminology directly will be advised of the society's role in controlling admission

to the practice, and will be encouraged to contact the Society for assessment of

their suitability for admission to the profession. At present, the Society of

Notaries receives over 1,600 inquiries per year regarding admission to the

profession. Prospective students will come from various disciplinary backgrounds

but will have a common interest in private law and notarial practice.

Admission Requirements and Enrolment

Admission into the MA program will normally require an undergraduate degree

from an accredited university in any discipline or a suitable combination of

undergraduate education and practical experience in a related area. Students will

be evaluated on an individual basis. Those not meeting these requirements will

need to take preparatory coursework equivalent to an undergraduate degree.

ii.

Enrolment

It is anticipated that our Applied Legal Studies (Notaries Public) MA program

will support between 15 and 20 students at any given time. Given the numbers of

students who contact the Society of Notaries Public each year seeking admission

to the profession, there will be an adequate pool of potential candidates for the

foreseeable future. The Society of Notaries Public is limited by law to no more

than 323 members in the province. Enrolment will arise largely on the basis of

individuals seeking to take over thepositions vacated by existing notaries retiring

or otherwise leaving the profession. It is also anticipated that a significant number

of existing Notaries Public will seek to upgrade their credentials by enrollin

the program.

Curriculum

The MA in Applied Legal Studies (Notaries Public) will prepare students for

notarial practice and provide them with critical thinking skills helping them to

become committed professionals and leaders in the business world. Becoming a

Notary Public requires the candidate to pass six exams set by statute, in addition

to possessing the skills necessary to function independently in the business world.

The curriculum is designed to facilitate gaining the knowledge and skills

necessary to satisfactorily complete the government-sponsored exams, as well as

develop the additional skills needed for a successful career in their chosen field.

Coursework on Private Law and Business Practice

The proposed MA program will provide students with specialized, advanced

graduate training in private law and business practice. The pedagogical approach

'4. ?

guiding the student's training will emphasize developing skills related to the

following: various areas of the law which Notaries Public deal with on a daily

basis; interdisciplinary basic and applied legal research; the drafting and

execution of documents pertinent to notarial practice; theoretical knowledge

pertaining to law and jurisprudence; critical thinking; and ethical issues affecting

notarial practice. The program will be cohort-based, with all students

commencing the program together at the start of the fall term. First-term (fall)

graduate courses will employ a blended format of in-class and distance education

elements. Second-term (spring) courses will be entirely by distance education.

Third-term courses will be run as on-campus summer intersession courses. The

Fourth-term course will entail a distance education-based capstone course.

Proposed graduate courses will employ a complex mix of pedagogical techniques

depending on the substance of the course. A key aspect of the program is the

development of applied skills through which students become familiar with

notarial practice.

ii.

Statutory Exams

The Society of Notaries Public controls admission through a series of six required

exams, set by individuals appointed by the Attorney General of the province.

These exams cover: contracts; personal planning; real property; conveyancing;

and two exams on notarial practice. Since several of the graduate courses in the

program directly pertain to the subject matter of some of these exams, students

planning to become a Notary Public will Sit four of these statutory exams during

their time in the degree program. The balance of the exams will be completed by

interested students subsequent to degree completion, while they are engaged in a

final period of articles necessary for society membership. Evaluation of course

performance may be separate from the statutory exams in the same topic area.

iii.

Requirements

for

Graduation

Students will be required to take ten graduate courses, each of which is mandatory

for degree completion. Coursework will be provided in the following pattern:

Fall

ALS 601-3 Canadian Law and Legal System

ALS 602-3 Legal Research and Writing

ALS 603-3 Legal Philosophy

Spring ?

ALS 610-3 Contracts

ALS 611-3 Real Property I

ALS 620-3 Selected Topics in Applied Legal Studies

Summer Intersession

ALS 612-3 Real Property II

ALS 615-3 Personal Planning

Fall

ALS 630-6 Topics in Legal Practice

ALS 631-3 MA Examination

The first term fall courses provide a foundation upon which the rest of the

program builds. Students will become acquainted with the structures and

processes within Canada's legal system. They will also begin to develop legal

research and writing skills that will be employed throughout the balance of the

program. They will also be exposed to critical and analytical thinking skills,

gaining facility with the philosophy and history of legal thought. In the second

and third terms, students will concentrate on learning the law in areas pertaining

to typical notarial practice. They will develop applied skills such as drafting

contracts and preparing wills. In the final term, they-will synthesize their prior

learning and address issues faced in the day-to-day running of a notarial practice,

and complete a final exam assessing the student's overall mastery of the subject

matter of the program. This exam will be administered and graded by tenure-

stream faculty involved with the Applied Legal Studies program within the

School of Criminology.

In the event of student demand, additional courses may be developed as electives

within the program should the necessary resources become available.

The calendar descriptions of the proposed graduate courses can be found in

Appendix 1. The tentative course outlines for all nine proposed graduate courses

are shown in Appendix 2. The calendar description of the program is in Appendix

iv.

Distance Delivery

Seven of the nine courses comprising the MA, will be offered by distance

education. The SFU Centre for Online and Distance Education will aid in the

design and delivery of these courses. In distance mode, each of the courses will

use established distance approaches for online delivery. Text messaging, online

discussion groups, electronic submission of assignments, WebCT learning

modules, print study guides and readers will form the basic structure of the online

design. As in our usual practice, CODE will work with course authors to design

and produce distance courses of high quality and stable delivery. In addition,

instruction will be enhanced through VOIP delivery of electronic classrooms to

aid contact with students in outlying areas of the province, and to foster cohort

identity. The courses will include an orientation phase in which students meet

with instructors and CODE staff for a short period to train in the distance delivery

methods. After this, and for a major part of the course, instruction and learning

will be online; at the end of the semester students will meet again for review and

examinations.

a0. ?

Completion Time

It is anticipated that all students will take four consecutive terms to complete an

MA in Applied Legal Studies (Notary Public), which will meet the residency

requirements for MA students at SFU.

will be appointed at the lecturer level and possess legal qualifications at the

jq. ?

Master's level (LL.M.) or above. In addition to delivering courses within the

program, the new faculty member will be expected to contribute to the law

courses offered within the undergraduate criminology program. Additionally, a

half-time support person will be requested to bolster the administrative support

necessary to launch and maintain this program. The resources necessary for these

appointments have been secured.

ii.

Funding Support for Students

The proposed program allows students to remain in their home locale while

undertaking most of their coursework. The program is also structured in such a

way that students can easily retain employment while working on their degree

requirements. The structure of the program facilitates students retaining the ability

to earn an income while undertaking the program, thereby diminishing the need

for student funding. However, it should be noted that our criminology MA

students have been very successful in obtaining SFU graduate entrance

scholarships and external funding from SSHRC, and other sources.

Program Evaluation and Consultations

The Market

As noted above, it is expected that almost all of the students applying to this

program will plan on becoming a Notary Public in B.C. In recent years, they have

taken between 20 and

students into their existing training program.

The Society of Notaries Public have also received numerous expressions of

interest from existing notaries who would like to take the new graduate program

to update and consolidate their skills.

It is also likely that, over the years, a few students will undertake the degree out of

personal interest, with no intention of practicing as a notary.

In English-speaking Canada, British Columbia is the only province that currently

offers formal training for Notaries Public. It is conceivable that other provinces

allowing the notary practice could seek to have their potential candidates enroll in

the SFU program.

Currently there are no programs offering competing Master's degrees in Canada.

ii. ?

Student Demand

The Society of Notaries Public currently receives over 1,600 inquiries per year

from individuals interested in joining the profession. The Society anticipates the

years ahead will produce a similar level of interest.

A significant number of existing notaries undertake advanced education in other

disciplines and programs. These range widely from graduate degrees in liberal

oO.

studies to more applied graduate degrees and diplomas in business administration.

It is anticipated that the existing notaries will be regular applicants to the proposed

program.

iii.

Employment Opportunities for Graduates

The vast majority of students undertaking this program will seek employment as a

Notary Public in the province. By statute, the number of Notaries is limited to

323. While this seems like a small number, each year approximately 20 positions

become available. This is due largely to retirements and people leaving the

profession to take up other forms of employment.

Students with a Master's degree in Applied Legal Studies will also be well

prepared to enter other lines of work. Individuals seeking employment in the real

estate field, in banking, and in the courts will be well prepared for their career

trajectory with this degree behind them. It will also provide an excellent skill set

for those students seeking to become entrepreneurs.

At present, no other provinces allow the notarial profession to fulfil a role similar

to that in BC. Students receiving this Master's degree would be very well

positioned to seek out work with an existing notary in any of the other provinces

in which the profession exists.

iv. ?

Letter

Request

We have received a letter from the Society of Notaries Public of BC requesting

the development of a MA in Applied Legal Studies (Notary Public). (see

Appendix 4).

Implementation Schedule

We expect to admit students for the September 2008 start date.

Additional Resources Required to Implement the Program

Due to the course-intensive nature of this program, we will require an additional

1.0 FTE CFL at the Lecturer rank with a graduate level law credential (LL.M. or

higher), expertise in private law, and ideally practice experience in areas touching

on notarial practice. The new Lecturer would begin teaching the various graduate

courses immediately upon appointment. In addition, a

FTE graduate secretary

is required, which would raise our current graduate administration to

1.5

FTE.

One additional office will be required at Surrey to house the new faculty member.

These resources have already been secured in anticipation of this program's

approval.

Course Descriptions

ALS 601 Canadian Law and Legal System

This course is designed to give students a systematic knowledge of the workings of

Canadian law and the Canadian legal system. It will provide a comprehensive discussion

of the various principles and schools of jurisprudence, and will canvass the basic legal

institutions in Canada. This course will consider the history of Canadian law, the

development of the framework of the Canadian constitution, the Constitution itself, the

roles and responsibilities of Canadian courts and the roles and responsibilities of

members of the legal profession. The course will also ensure that students gain a

comprehensive understanding of the nature of legal reasoning, the doctrines of precedent

and stare decisis, and the key rules and principles of statutory interpretation. Students will

also be given a systematic introduction to four substantive areas of law: criminal law,

administrative law, family law, and tort law.

ALS 602 Legal Research and Writing

This course is designed to give students a solid foundation in legal research and writing

skills. This involves providing students with an overview of how both legislation and

case law are created, including consideration of the basic principles of legal analysis.

Proper legal research techniques and strategies will be considered for both primary and

secondary legal sources. Consideration will also be given to the many on-line legal

research resources. Finally, students will receive instruction in the general principles of

legal writing and apply these principles to different types of legal writing including

analytical writing and the drafting of legal documents.

ALS 603 Legal Philosophy

This course is designed to give students a solid grounding in the central themes of legal

philosophy. This involves examining the major schools ofjurisprudence. It affords an

opportunity to reflect in a disciplined and critical way on the structure and functions of

law, legal institutions and systems. It involves an analysis of the nature of legal reasoning

and discourse, and looks to the connections between law and morality.

AILS

610 Contracts

This course is designed to introduce students to the fundamental principles underlying

Contract Law in Canada, and the practical application of such principals in the

commercial environment. Students will learn the essential elements of what makes an

"enforceable contract" such as offer and acceptance, certainty of terms, form and

consideration as well as those things that may well make a contract unenforceable, such

as misrepresentation, frustration, duress and privity issues. Warranties, representations,

c. ?

conditions and remedies for breach of contract will also be covered, as will contractual

interpretation.

ALS 611 Real Property I

This course involves the study of basic principles and statutory regimes which govern the

institution of Real Property. Topics addressed will include: the legal concept of land, the

nature of and rationale for property, transfer of interests in land, registration of title and

the nature of the land title system, the acquisition of estates in land, co-ownership of land,

and future interests.

ALS 612 Real Property II

This course deals with the law relating to vendors and purchasers of real estate,

particularly as affected by the substantive law of mortgages, and considers the remedies

available to vendors, purchasers, mortgagers and mortgagees, as well as the role and

duties of real estate agents. It also deals with residential and commercial tenancies.

ALS 615 Personal Planning

This course is designed to provide an overview of the law of succession and to familiarize

students with the principles necessary to competently advise clients about the transfer of

property on death and to draft a will that meets the client's objectives. Powers of

Attorney and Representation Agreements as planning tools will be examined.

ALS 620 Selected Topics in Applied Legal Studies

This course is designed to give students a detailed understanding of key topics in applied

legal studies, with a particular emphasis upon areas of law and practice that are of special

interest to Notaries Public. The topics may change from year to year and may vary by

instructor but in the Spring of 2009 it is anticipated that topics will include, the law of

agency; current issues in tax law; the law affecting business/not for profit incorporation,

and business associations.

ALS 630 Topics in Legal Practice

This course builds on the theoretical understanding students have by exploring how the

legal advisor assists clients in effectively dealing with their issues. Topics range from

the purpose of legal professionals to developing sustainable strategies for the operation

of a legal practice.

ALS 631 MA

Examination

There will be a final examination on core subjects, which will normally occur towards the

end of the student's fourth term in the program, assessing the student's mastery of the

material, showing critical engagement with the breadth and depth of the subject matter

Appendix

Calendar Description ?

of the Program

To be inserted in the "Graduate" section of the Calendar, under the School of

Criminology heading, and placed between the discussion of the regular MA Program and

the PhD Program (see p. 279 of the current 2006/2007 Calendar).

MA in Applied Legal Studies (Notaries Public) Program

The School offers a program leading to a Master of Arts in applied legal studies for

students intending to practice as Notaries Public. This degree is granted on the successful

completion of a sixteen month course and prepares students for admission to notarial

practice (subject to further requirements that are set out below) and for business and

public service. The number of students entering notarial practice in British Columbia is

ultimately governed by the Society of Notaries Public of British Columbia, and

accordingly, conferral of this degree is no guarantee of a position in either the necessary

year of articles (described below) or in notarial practice. However, enrolment in the

program is limited to approximate the number of openings anticipated in the province in

the years ahead.

Admission Requirements

Applicants should regard their satisfaction of the entrance requirements as meaning only

that they are eligible for selection. Because of the competition for admission to the

program, a regular applicant must have an undergraduate academic average substantially

higher than the minimum in order to have a reasonable chance of admission. Certain

factors such as financial hardship, learning disabilities or other disadvantages, or ethnic

background, may be considered in the discretionary category. Note that only a limited

number of positions will be available each year in the discretionary category.

To be eli gi

ble for selection, an applicant must have:

obtained an undergraduate degree in an approved course of studies from a degree-

granting university with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher;

ii)

successfully completed the first three years (minimum 90 credits) or more of an

approved course of studies leading to an undergraduate degree at a degree-granting

university with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher, and possess sufficient

and appropriate work experience relevant to notarial practice, that in the view of the

admissions committee compensates for the lack of a completed degree; or

iii)

meet the criteria for discretionary candidates set out below:

Special factors arising in life may impede the ability of an otherwise promising candidate

to satisfy one or more of the regular admission criteria. Accordingly, the Admissions

Committee has the discretion to take into account factors such as age, disability, financial

disadvantage, membership in a historically disadvantaged group or any other factors that

the applicant wishes the Admissions Committee to consider. These factors will be

considered in the context of the applicant's life achievements and work experience,

including volunteer work for community or charitable organizations.

Discretionary applicants are required to have completed the first two years of an

approved course of studies leading to an undergraduate degree at an approved college or

university. A personal statement, and two letters of reference are required, and where

appropriate, documentation such as medical reports should be submitted. Each applicant

is considered individually on their merits. Discretionary applicants may be required to

appear for an interview before the Admissions Committee. Applicants are responsible for

providing full documentation. Incomplete applications will not be evaluated.

Application

Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the Society of Notaries Public of

British Columbia in advance of submitting an application. The credentials committee of

the Society governs admission to the profession of Notaries Public in British Columbia.

Applicants satisfying the admissions criteria of that committee are not guaranteed

admission to the Master of Arts in Applied Legal Studies (Notaries Public) program.

All applicants for admission must submit the following documents by February ist:

Completed application form

• All post-secondary academic transcripts

• Application fee

• Other documentation as required

An application processing fee of $80 must accompany the application form. Other

documents include letters of reference, medical certificates, special circumstances letters,

and other supporting documentation for discretionary applicants, where relevant.

Degree Requirements

All students are required to take the following ten graduate courses. Courses are offered

in the following sequence: ?

term. Weeks 3 through 12 of the fall term classes are delivered via a distance education

format. Spring classes are delivered entirely through the distance education format.

Students are required to attend campus for the summer intersession (running from early

May to mid-June). The final Capstone course follows the same mixed delivery mode as

program, showing mastery and critical engagement with the depth and breadth of the

subject matter of the program.

Monographs

The SFU Library is currently not collecting in areas that will support this program. While the Burnaby

Campus does collect some academic titles on law and legal issues, they are not of the nature that

would support professionals entering the field as Notaries Public.

A core collection to support these students and the faculty will need to be purchased.

20 books at an average price of

50/book

$3,000

The collection will also need to be updated and maintained. This is particulary important as many of

the titles listed on the course outlines are from loose-leaf services which will require ongoing funds in

order to keep current.

35 books at an average price of $150/book

$5,250Iyear

Additionally, the proposed course outlines were reviewed. The following titles are from these outlines

and are not available at the SFU library and will need to be purchased.
