Areas of Specialty

We accept students across a wide range of subject areas and emphasize a law and society approach.  Our program welcomes engagement with Canadian, international, and comparative dimensions of the study of law, for example with respect to the Asia-Pacific region.  Our particular areas of strength are:

• Aboriginal Law and Indigenous Rights
• Environmental Law and Policy
• Legal Theory, especially Feminist and Critical Legal Theory
• Constitutional Law
• Market Regulation (including Employment and Labour Law, Public and Private International Law, and Commercial Law)

Although research and teaching obligations of individual faculty make it impossible for us to guarantee supervision in these and any other areas in a given year, we do our best to match each student with a faculty supervisor that has depth in the student’s chosen field.
