Your Community
The Schulich School of Law continues our commitment to fostering the growth of equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility within legal education and the profession at large, through curriculum, experiential learning opportunities, access to justice, and restorative justice.
Every year, our first-year class is reflective of the changing and diverse Canadian population. We welcome students from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences from all over the world.
Our culture of inclusion goes hand-in-hand with our commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility. It means that differences are valued, respected and encouraged, enhancing and enriching both the law school community and the future of Canadian law.
