The University of New Brunswick Faculty of Law is a Canadian law school which offers a bachelor of laws degree (LL.B.). It is located in New Brunswick's capital city, Fredericton, and is one of two law schools located in the province (the other being a French language common-law school, La Faculté de droit de l'Université de Moncton). The current Dean of the Faculty is Philip Bryden. Former Puisne Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada Gerard V. La Forest is the Distinguished Legal Scholar in Residence.
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 [http://www.canadianlawyermag.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=71&Itemid=24] ).
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.
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.
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.
