Ranked among the world's best law schools
We opened our doors in 1883 – the first university law school in any of the common law provinces of Canada, and the model for law schools across Canada and the Commonwealth. Today we are more vital than ever. In the 2019 rankings, Times Higher Education ranked the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University 65th in the world.

Pack your bags and experience life on Canada's awesome East Coast
Halifax, Nova Scotia, is a great city to live in. Surrounded on three sides by the ocean and with a population of fewer than half a million, it is a fresh, friendly, and clean city. It is also very easy to get around, and most students tend to walk or bike to the law school. Halifax is also known for its lively nightlife, mostly due to the large number of students who study here.
