Wikipedia informs us:
"The Faculty of Law is particularly renowned in the areas of corporate law, international law, law and economics, and legal theory.
The law school has been ranked the number one law school in Canada by Maclean's in every year in which the magazine has published law school rankings. The median undergraduate GPA of students accepted into the J.D. program is 3.9, and the median Law School Admission Test (LSAT) score is 168 (96th percentile), making the law school the most selective in Canada, and one of the most selective in North America. The Faculty of Law offers its students Canada's most extensive internship program in pro bono work and international human rights law, and supports a range of legal clinics staffed by students as well as practitioners.
The Faculty of Law has close to 60 full-time faculty members, and 600 undergraduate and graduate students, giving it a student-faculty ratio of approximately 10:1, one of the lowest in North America. Its "Distinguished Visitors" program brings 15-25 short-term visiting professors from the world's leading law schools to teach at the school each year. For 2010-11, visiting professors include: Frank Iacobucci, former Puisne Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada; Aharon Barak, former President of the Supreme Court of Israel; Dieter Grimm, former Justice of the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany; and James C. Hathaway, former Dean of the Melbourne Law School.
The Faculty of Law lies at the geographic centre of the University of Toronto. It is located at the corner of Queen's Park Crescent and Hoskin Avenue, south of the Royal Ontario Museum and slightly north of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.
Among its alumni are two Canadian Prime Ministers, three Chiefs of Staff to the Prime Minister, two Premiers of Ontario, two Mayors of Toronto, and six Justices of the Supreme Court of Canada, including three of the nine currently-sitting Justices (Louis LeBel, Rosalie Abella, and Michael J. Moldaver)."
