University of Toronto Faculty of Law

The University of Toronto Faculty of Law (U of T Law, UToronto Law) is the law school of the University of Toronto. Originally founded in 1887, the Faculty is one of the oldest law faculties in Canada, although it was not until 1958 that the Faculty was officially recognized as an accredited institution by the Law Society of Upper Canada when the Society relinquished its monopoly on legal education. The Faculty's small size and prestige make its admissions process the most selective of any law school in Canada. Currently, the Faculty offers the JD (formerly LLB), LLM, SJD, MSL, and GPLLM degrees in law. The Faculty has consistently been ranked as the top law school in Canada by ''Maclean's'' since it began to publish law school rankings.〔(Maclean's Law School Ranking 2007 )〕〔(Maclean's Law School Ranking 2008 )〕〔(Maclean's Law School Ranking 2009 )〕〔(Maclean's Law School Ranking 2010 )〕〔(Maclean's Law School Ranking 2011 )〕〔(Maclean's Law School Ranking 2012 )〕〔http://www.macleans.ca/education/uniandcollege/2013-law-school-rankings/〕
Among its alumni are one Canadian Prime Minister, three leaders of the Liberal Party of Canada, three Chiefs of Staff to the Prime Minister, two Premiers of Ontario, two Mayors of Toronto, and seven Justices of the Supreme Court of Canada, including two of the nine currently-sitting Justices (Rosalie Abella, and Michael J. Moldaver) - more than any other law school. The deans of Canada's top ranked law schools (Toronto, Osgoode Hall Law School, and Queen's) are all Toronto Law graduates. Additionally, the deans of Oxford Law Faculty (top-ranked in Britain), Columbia Law School, the University of California at Berkeley School of Law, and the University of Alberta Faculty of Law are all currently U of T Law alumni.〔http://www.law.utoronto.ca/news/nexus/nexus-archives/nexus-springsummer-2014/hat-trick〕
The current Dean of the Faculty of Law (as of January 1, 2015) is Professor Edward Iacobucci, himself a U of T Law graduate from the LLB program and a Oxford University Rhodes Scholar.〔()〕
==History==
The University of Toronto Faculty of Law was established as a teaching faculty in 1887 pursuant to the ''University Federation Act'',〔''An Act Respecting the Federation of the University of Toronto and University College with Other Universities and Colleges'', 50 Vict (1887), c 43 (Ont).〕 which was proclaimed into force in 1889. An earlier faculty of law had existed at King's College between 1843 and 1854, but was abolished by an Act of Parliament in 1853.〔
The Faculty of Law was officially opened in 1889, with two part-time professors appointed at its inauguration - William Proudfoot and David Mills. The Faculty awarded LL.B. degrees to graduates of its program. However, the Law Society of Upper Canada at the time refused to accept the University of Toronto Faculty of Law as an accredited law school, preferring instead to maintain control over the profession by establishing its own school, the Osgoode Hall Law School.〔 Thus, students who graduated from the Faculty were still required to complete a full three-year articling term and complete courses at Osgoode Hall in order to join the legal profession. As a result, the Faculty's enrollment numbers in the early years were relatively low.〔
It was not until 1949 that the Faculty adopted its current form. In the 1940s, the Faculty played the leading role in making legal education in Ontario into a modern academic degree course, rather than an apprenticeship.
In 1949, Cecil (“Caesar”) Wright assumed the deanship of the Faculty of Law. He first had to resign his post as Dean of Osgoode Hall Law School, the seat of the Law Society of Upper Canada, rejecting the Law Society's apprenticeship model of legal education in favour of the University of Toronto's vision of a full-time legal education, hinging on the professional bachelor of laws degree and embedded within a university. Wright brought with him his colleagues John Willis and Bora Laskin, the latter of whom would go on to become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada.
Despite the Faculty of Law's academic program, the Law Society of Upper Canada refused to recognize it as a degree-granting institution for the purposes of accreditation. In the early 1950s, law students and their supporters petitioned the Law Society, and in 1953, a group of 50 student protesters marched on Osgoode Hall demanding formal recognition for the Faculty of Law. Finally, in 1958, after years of negotiation and discord, the Law Society began to give credit to graduates of the law school seeking admission to the Ontario bar.
