Faculty of Law - Common Law Section

Alumni Edith Neuberger (LL.B. 1981) and Norman Jesin (LL.B. 1981) donated $1 million to create professorship at the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law (Common Law Section)

The University of Ottawa Faculty of Law recognizes that it is on Algonquin land in a territory where Algonquin legal orders have operated for millennia, and continue to do so today. As a Faculty we are committed to education that is multi-juridical including Indigenous laws and legal orders, common law, and civil laws. We provide space for all students to learn, interrogate and critique all law in a professional, ethical and respectful way.
