Becoming a driving force for social change.
Law affects all aspects of our economy, government and daily life. We need to educate legal professionals and leaders able to work in a multidisciplinary fashion to tackle our era’s great questions of law and inequality.
Your support will help us shape the future of the legal professional and train civil lawyers with a deep commitment to the public good.
“This scholarship is for students who want to be young rebels like me! If I can have the chance to help them, I will!”

In the Civil Law Section, we foster a diverse, inclusive environment that reflects the communities we serve. We work ceaselessly to fight discrimination, prejudice and inequality, which stand in the way of students’ learning and academic progress. We also encourage success and highlight those whose journeys inspire. We believe that beyond the numbers are people. Help us enable these young talents to find their voices.
We’re not satisfied with just educating legal professionals. In September 2019, we became the first law school in Canada to offer a course in leadership.
With your help, we’ll build on this experience to create a full program, with courses, research and continuing education, both for the University community and for the judiciary, the public service and other external audiences here and elsewhere.
Actors from the legal community, the public service, community groups, NGOs and other backgrounds will cross paths at the Faculty of Law to jointly tackle large and smaller scale issues of concern for the legal, social, economic, health-care and correctional systems.
