The University of Saskatchewan College of Law is located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River in a beautiful, natural, and spacious setting. Saskatoon is a modern prairie city with a good balance of economic, cultural, and educational institutions.

The college was founded in 1912, and is the oldest in Western Canada. The graduates of the college exemplify a tradition of excellence. Over the years, graduates have become distinguished judges of courts at all levels, including the Supreme Court of Canada; distinguished academics; learned members of the legal profession across the country; diplomats; and political leaders. Graduates have also become prime minister of Canada, governor-general of Canada, and premiers of Saskatchewan and Alberta.

The college’s academic life is directed by a faculty with a strong commitment to teaching and research, and is enriched by the active involvement of judges and practitioners. The college has three funded chairs that enrich the program in the areas of public policy, human rights, and business law. The college is committed to research and teaching through the Indigenous Law Centre, and the Centre for the Study of Co-operatives. The chairs, centres, and a speaker’s committee organize a stimulating selection of conferences and lectures on current legal issues.
