Vital impact
Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women inquiry commissioners

An inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women in Canada was announced yesterday, and 3 of the 5 appointed commissioners have close ties to UVic Law.
New findings by SSHRC-funded project
The Ring
The role played by the City of Vancouver in the dispossession of Japanese Canadians during the 1940s is now more clearly drawn, thanks to exhaustive work over the past two years by one of the biggest research projects in the field of humanities in Canada.
BC water act
The Ring
New research on the future of BC’s most important resource from the POLIS Project on Ecological Governance With the replacement of its over a century-old Water Act with the new Water Sustainability Act in 2014, British Columbia has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to modernize its freshwater legislation and usher in a new era of water stewardship. The Water Sustainability Act has many promising features that can better protect the province’s freshwater resources.

40th anniversary of UVic Law
The Ring
2015 is a banner year for UVic Law: its 40th anniversary. We often think of UVic Law as a young faculty, but it has now delivered four decades of first-class legal education. On March 6 and 7, the faculty will celebrate this milestone with a series of events for alumni, faculty, students and friends. It is a time to take stock. What kind of law school is UVic? What distinctive contributions has it made to Canadian legal education over the last 40 years? Or, to put the question with a little more edge: Would British Columbia, would Canada, be any different if UVic Law had not been founded?
Watershed moments in Indigenous law
The Ring
The summer of 2014 was a remarkable period in Canadian legal history. Within the span of three weeks, two Supreme Court of Canada judgments involving aboriginal title and treaty rights were brought down. Together, they significantly altered fundamental elements of national governance and current plans for economic development, as well as the legal landscape relating to land and resource entitlements.

One of the biggest challenges Geoffrey Conrad faced in his graduate studies at University of Victoria Law was simply getting here—towing a U-Haul trailer behind a compact car through the Rockies and all the way from his hometown of Montreal.
