Student Life
We are proud to welcome students from every province and territory in Canada, as well as nearly every corner of the world, to our close-knit community of supportive faculty, staff, students, and alumni.
Your legal education can be an intense and study-focused time, but the connections you make with your peers through your classes, volunteering, extra-curricular activities, and student organizations, will last a lifetime.
At Schulich Law, we want to ensure you succeed in the classroom and beyond.
Dalhousie Law Students’ Society
The Law Students’ Society (LSS) is the elected student government of Dalhousie University’s Schulich School of Law.
The Board of Directors is comprised of seven Executive Committee members, up to three Class-Year Representatives from each year of study, and eight Community Representatives, as well as an appointed Chair and Vice-Chair.
The LSS represents the student voice in all aspects of the law school including social, financial, athletic, and academic areas. Their goal is to support and develop initiatives that promote a dynamic law student experience.

“Serving as the President of the Dalhousie Black Law Students’ Association was one of the best opportunities of my law school career. It allowed me to make a positive contribution to the culture of the law school, alongside other engaged students. It also allowed me to connect with students from other Canadian faculties, legal practitioners, and members of the community at large.”
