UVic Law Back on Top

UVic’s faculty of law is once again ranked as the best law school in Canada according to recent law grads who responded to this year’s annual survey in Canadian Lawyer magazine. Respondents were asked to rate curriculum, faculty, facilities, students, and practice relevance in awarding UVic the top grade. “The grads agreed that the school’s strongest feature is its people, both the faculty and fellow students, and that says it all,” says UVic law dean Andrew Petter. Respondents applauded the faculty’s “excellent teachers with a deep commitment to school and students . . . they make themselves available to students.” UVic has been rated number one in Canada by law grads in the survey eight of the past 10 years.
