The Faculty of Law is one of the professional graduate schools of McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is the oldest law school in Canada. 180 candidates are admitted for any given academic year. For the year 2021 class, the acceptance rate was 10%.[4][5][6]
Notable alumni include Prime Ministers John Abbott and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, thirteen Justices of the Supreme Court (Including the most recent appointments, Mahmud Jamal and Nicholas Kasirer), as well as Members of Parliament. Marc Miller, a member of the current Cabinet of Canada, is a graduate from the Faculty.
The Faculty is home to the first faculty union at McGill, the Association of McGill Law Professors. Starting on April 24, 2024, all full-time faculty began an unlimited strike due to McGill University's failure to bargain in good faith.[7] McGill's perceived poor treatment of the union led academics and most of their associations across Canada to move their activities off of the McGill campus - which played host - during one of the largest academic events of the year, the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences in June 2024. Said one academic who held meetings away from McGill: "[T]he senior administrators have, in my opinion, treated this union so poorly that it is incumbent on the rest of the Canadian academy to support" the union.[8]
