Overview

The international reputation of the law school’s faculty, their breadth of interests and approaches, and the intensive intellectual atmosphere, create outstanding opportunities for graduate students pursuing advanced degrees.

Law faculty members are some of the finest doctrinal and theoretical legal scholars in public and private law. The diversity of research interests amongst the faculty allows them to supervise graduate research in almost all areas of legal scholarship. The pluralistic academic community invites a variety of approaches to legal scholarship including, but not limited to, feminism and the law, law and economics, legal history, law and society, analytical jurisprudence, and critical legal theory. Over a third of the faculty are cross-appointed to other units — a commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship which encourages students to position their legal research within a broader, interdisciplinary context.

Strong relationships with faculty members are forged by the supervisory relationship, as well as through numerous informal opportunities to interact with faculty. The many workshops, lecture series, seminars and roundtables foster a dynamic intellectual environment. Through the Distinguished Visiting Faculty program, students have the opportunity to meet with and learn from some of the world’s finest legal scholars.

In addition to the formal study program, graduate students can participate in internships through Pro Bono Students Canada and the International Human Rights Program.
