How have the law and legal education evolved over time? Why has the rigorous study of law prevailed for seventy-five years? Where do we go from here?

Celebrating 75 years of modern legal education, the University of Toronto Faculty of Law's conference on March 27 & 28 is looking forward by looking back.

Present-day faculty members will reflect on pivotal contributions to academic and legal development by U of T Law scholars over the last seven decades.

Presented papers will be published in a special volume of the University of Toronto Faculty of Law Journal and in an edited volume published by U of T Press.
