Today, it is one of the world’s top law schools, a dynamic academic and social community with more than 50 full-time faculty members and 25 distinguished short-term visiting professors from leading law schools across the globe, as well as 500 undergraduate and graduate students. Located in Toronto, Canada's largest and most diverse city, the Faculty’s rich academic programs are supplemented by its many legal clinics, public interest programs, and close links to more than 6,000 alumni, who enjoy rewarding careers in every sector of Canadian society and remain involved in many aspects of law school life.
