McGill’s Faculty of Law & the Inception of University-based Legal Education in Canada
By John Hobbins, Librarian Emeritus
Prior to the 1850s, legal training in Canada was received largely through apprenticeship. While this remained true for Upper Canada until the late 1950s, university-based legal education began a century earlier in Lower Canada at McGill College.
John Hobbins. Librarian Emeritus, and a Past-President of the James McGill Society, was formerly head of the Nahum Gelber Law Library. He is now working on the history of McGill’s Faculty of Law.
