About Toronto Metropolitan

For more than 75 years, Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly known as Ryerson University) has been shaping the next generation of leaders through its uniquely innovative, entrepreneurial and career-focused approach to higher education. Driven by bold leadership, cutting-edge research and a deep commitment to academic excellence, TMU collaborates with students, faculties, staff and partners to push boundaries, reimagine solutions and create meaningful change in an increasingly interconnected world.

For a more in-depth understanding of our vision, core values and ongoing work, please see our academic plan.

TMU welcomes those who have demonstrated a commitment to upholding the values of equity, diversity, and inclusion and will assist us in realizing the benefits of embedding these values into the work at every level and in every unit of the university. In addition, to correct the conditions of disadvantage in employment in Canada and to bring lived experiences to the work, we encourage applications from members of equity deserving groups that have been historically disadvantaged and marginalized, including First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples in Canada, First Nations Peoples in the United States, racialized people, Black people, persons with disabilities, women, and 2SLGBTQ+ people. Preference will be given to candidates with lived experiences as people from equity deserving groups, as well as experience working with these communities with which the University works every day. Please note that all qualified candidates are encouraged to apply and we welcome newcomers and immigrants to Canada.

In April 2022, the university announced its new name of Toronto Metropolitan University. Learn more about our next chapter.

The Team - Who we are and what we do

The Law Practice Program (LPP) is an intensive eight-month professional training program designed to bridge the gap between legal education and practice through a blend of simulation and real-world experience. The first four months utilize a pioneering "Virtual Law Firm" model, where candidates manage files in a controlled environment to develop core competencies across various legal fields. This is followed by a four-month work placement in a professional setting, providing direct industry exposure. Throughout the program, candidates are supported by a vast network of legal experts who serve as mentors and advisors, ensuring the curriculum remains relevant to current professional standards.

The LPP evaluates candidates through a model of accumulated performance based on live assessments, professional deliverables, and ongoing mentor feedback. This comprehensive approach tests both theoretical knowledge and practical skills to ensure graduates are fully prepared for the demands of the legal profession. The program’s effectiveness is reflected in its outcomes, with the majority of participants securing law or law-related employment within one year of becoming licensed.

The Opportunity

Are you a visionary legal technology leader ready to shape the future of legal education and lawyer licensing? The Law Practice Program (LPP) is seeking an experienced, forward-thinking senior professional to join our team. As the Program Director you will lead strategic development, implementation and operational management of the program’s curriculum including leveraging legal technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and data strategy, ensuring the program remains a nationally recognized leader in professional training for the licensing of lawyers in Ontario.

You will be responsible for the portfolio’s pedagogical framework, curriculum quality, data accountability systems, technology integrations, vendor governance, and financial and managerial functions. Additional responsibilities include building and maintaining partnerships with the Law Society of Ontario (LSO), legal technology providers, and the broader legal community to advance program relevance and candidate success.

Designs, delivers and oversees the online course content and ensures effective integration of legal technology into online curriculum content and candidate assessments.

Sources, evaluates, and manages external consultants and subject matter experts to develop specialized training modules across the Legal Technology Stack, including AI, eDiscovery, CLM, and Practice Management.

Data Strategy and Program Accountability

Defines candidate success metrics and oversees the design of real-time performance dashboards.

Operations and Vendor Governance

In collaboration with the Executive Director sets and governs the multi-million dollar budget for the Legal Technology and enrollment portfolios.
