University of British Columbia Faculty of Law

The University of British Columbia Faculty of Law is one of the largest English language legal programs in Canada, with over 600 law students. The three-year Juris Doctor (J.D.) program is noted for its coursework breadth. The faculty also offers Master of Laws (LL.M.), Master of Jurisprudence (M.Jur.) and doctorate (Ph. D.) degrees. The faculty has a unique emphasis on Pacific Rim issues, aboriginal law, and feminist law. The law school's motto is: fiat justitia ruat cœlum meaning "Let justice be done though the heavens fall." The faculty is located at the University of British Columbia's Point Grey campus in the University Endowment Lands, just outside the city limits of Vancouver, British Columbia. Until May, 2009 the faculty was housed in the Curtis Building, named for the faculty's founding dean, the late George F. Curtis, who died on October 23, 2005. The Curtis Building has been demolished and replaced with Allard Hall, named after donor Peter Allard, which was constructed on the same land. Courses in law were taught at UBC from its founding.

  • Maria Ly is quite literally a Rock Star. You’ll often find her hanging off a 5.13a grade rock climbing route, she is the rock star co-founder of Skimble (which is incubated by Rock Health), and you can find her rock formation photography featured in Outside Magazine.

  • March 13, 1988 was the day we moved to America. Although it wasn't my first time in the country, that date was the beginning of my journey through the American school system. Those eleven years filled me with a lifetime of great memories.

  • Mayank is an inventor and zebra-enthusiast. He developed Stripespotter, a biological barcode scanner for zebras, and is a part of the team behind Facebook insights. By way of India to Oman to the US, Mayank can be found behind the wheel of a red Porsche dreaming up his next big idea.
