[edit] Reputation

With a total student body of approximately 230 and about 20 full-time professors/instructors, the school ranks among the top Canadian law schools (based on surveys of over 500 lawyers and former law students[1]).

[edit] History

The second-oldest common law school in the Commonwealth, the institution relishes its small size. With only 80 first year students, a close-knit community forms among the students and professors/instructors.

[edit] Alumni

Graduates include Provincial and Federal judges, members of the Supreme Court of Canada, members of the provincial and federal government, as well as business and industry leaders.

[edit] Buildings & Features

Located in Ludlow Hall, on the University of New Brunswick's Fredericton campus, the Faculty is home to the Gerard V. La Forest Law Library and the UNB Law Journal.
