Save the Date for UVic Law’s 50th Anniversary Celebration
The University of Victoria’s Faculty of Law is marking a significant milestone in 2025 as it celebrates its 50th anniversary! Since its establishment in 1975, UVic Law has grown into one of Canada's leading law schools, renowned for its innovative programs, including its clinical programs, field schools and other experiential learning opportunities, and the ground-breaking JD/JID combined degree program in Canadian common law and Indigenous legal orders, along with its commitment to social justice, and strong community engagement.
To commemorate the occasion, we’re excited to host a special anniversary event on the weekend of October 25, 2025. The weekend will be a chance to connect with current and retired faculty and get together with classmates to celebrate together! We can’t wait to welcome you back to the Fraser building and to our newly opened space to reflect on our past accomplishments and future aspirations.
As a part of our 50th celebration, we will be launching a special project highlighting the diverse and impactful careers of our graduates. We invite you to share your journey since graduating from UVic Law and be a part of our history project where we will be assembling profiles of our alumni. Current students at UVic Law will be coordinating this project and will be in touch with all alumni soon using the contact information we have. If you are interested in participating, please share your experiences with us or email lawcomm@uvic.ca for more information.
More information about our anniversary weekend will be sent out this spring. We look forward to welcoming our alumni back to commemorate 50 years of excellence in legal education!
