Other General Information
The College of Law was established in 1912. It was the third independent college at the University of Saskatchewan. The first students began classes in 1913. The mission of the College of Law is to provide a critical and reflective education so that students have the best possible academic preparation for assuming professional responsibilities in the humane
operation of the legal system and for all vocations in which an understanding of law is necessary or helpful.

In 1975, the College of Law established the Native Law Centre. The Centre was designed to promote the development of law and legal systems in ways that would benefit Aboriginal communities in Canada. A half-time program was
introduced in 1979 to allow flexibility for students and to increase equity.

Upon successful completion of their studies, students will receive a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.). The Master's of Laws (LL.M.) program offers opportunities for students to conduct graduate work in areas such as human rights, international, environmental, criminal and commercial law.

Students
The College of Law has 330 students currently enrolled, and accepts 110 first-year students each academic year. Students must have a university degree from a recognized institution or have completed at least two years
of academic work to be eligible for admission into the College of Law.

Aboriginal students comprise 10 to 20 per cent of enrolment, and 75 per cent of the class is from Saskatchewan. The gender ratio is approximately 50/50, and students enrolled in the College range in age from 20 years to 45 years.

Faculty & Staff
The College of Law has 17 full-time and two part-time faculty members. The College also employs many sessional lecturers - most of whom come from the local legal community. The College has two Endowed Chairs: the Ariel F.
Sallows Chair of Human Rights and the Law Foundation of Saskatchewan Chair. Also employed are eight support staff and one executive assistant to the Dean. These individuals provide administrative support for admissions, student affairs, graduate studies, articling, and publication of the Saskatchewan Law Review.

The Saskatchewan Law Review, a refereed scholarly journal, is published twice yearly. It is supported by a faculty editor and a Student Board of Editors.
