Faculty and Staff
Academic excellence is at the heart of Western Law and it starts with our professors. Western Law is proud of the fact that it is among those Canadian law schools having the largest proportion of faculty with earned doctorates. Western’s full-time faculty members are exceptional classroom teachers, have won prestigious teaching awards, provide expert opinions to the media, and have received national and international recognition for their research. Western Law’s publication rate is among the highest in the country. Our professors are regular contributors to leading law journals and are authors of legal texts and casebooks used in courts, law firms and law schools across Canada. Faculty members also serve as public and private sector consultants and advisors and are sought-after speakers at national and international conferences.
Western Law’s professors push students to think critically, teach them to argue cogently and instill in them a solid understanding of the law. Our professors value collegiality and provide students with significant opportunities to interact with them as academic and professional mentors.
Complementing this remarkable group of full-time professors is a distinguished group of lawyers (many of whom are our alumni) who, as part-time faculty members, teach courses within their specialties, adding their perspectives as practitioners to the classroom.
Western Law's professional administrative staff helps provide students with the best possible law school experience. The administrative staff offer services and support in a variety of areas including career and professional development, academic counselling, promotion and publicity of events and achievements, financial aid information and exchange opportunites.
