"'Canada's great small law school' is how students, faculty, and graduates regard UNB Law School. What sets UNB apart is our success in bringing together ambitious students and committed teachers in a demanding but supportive learning environment. Founded more than a century ago, UNB Law is the second oldest common law school in the Commonwealth. Increasingly, we are recognized as one of the country's leaders. Independent evaluations by both Maclean's and Canadian Lawyer magazines have consistently ranked us among the very best.
UNB's greatest asset is its small size. We admit only 80 students each year and the total student body is about 230. With 20 full-time instructors, the student-teacher ratio is an impressive 11.5:1. The school is a close-knit community, where students from all regions of Canada and around the world form friendships that last a lifetime. All classrooms, professorial and student offices, the library, the bookstore, and lounges are located in stately Ludlow Hall, a notably pleasant physical space."
