List of law schools in Canada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of law schools and law faculties in Canada.
Canada is mostly a common law jurisdiction. However, the province of Quebec uses the civil law system for private law matters. As a result, Quebec's French language law schools are exclusively civil law schools.
