After one year of pre-law instruction, three years of law lectures from more than 25 instructors, trips to various conferences, and participation in moot competitions across Canada, the University of Saskatchewan (USask) Nunavut Law Program concluded in April 2021.
Born in Nunavut, 300 kilometres from the Arctic Circle, Robert Comeau never dreamed of going to law school one day, never mind having the opportunity right in his own community.
Now in their second semester, the students of the Nunavut Law Program have been working hard to master the foundations of a legal education.
Candidates contesting Iqaluit's four constituencies fielded questions from Nunavut Arctic College students in a forum organized by the Nunavut Student Association.
The program, which brings a law degree to the territory for the first time in over a decade, officially welcomed 25 new students at a special ceremony in Iqaluit on Sept. 11.
Martin Phillipson, dean of the College of Law, is delighted to announce the appointment of Stephen Mansell as the Northern Director of the Nunavut Law Program effective May 8, 2017.
