Are Law School Tuition Fees in Canada Still a Bargain?

by David Doorey July 9, 2012
written by David Doorey July 9, 2012

Check out this 2012 article, which lists the top 20 most expensive law school tuitions in the USA.  Here are the top 5:

Cornell University


#1    Cornell:  $53,150
#2    Columbia:  $52,902
#3    Yale:  $52,525  (note that at Yale, first year classes are ungraded, and upper year classes receive only honors, pass, or low-pass.  U of T is pondering moving to this system)
#4    Northwestern:  $51,920
#5    Penn Law:  $50,718
How do these Fees compare to Canadian law schools?
My quick look at the websites found these numbers (if anyone knows that these are out of date, please let me know):
University of Toronto Law:  around $29,000

Toronto Law School has Canada’s Highest Tuition


Osgoode Hall Law School:  around $21,000
Western:  around $19,000
Ottawa: around $16,000
Queens:  around $16,000
Dalhousie: around $14,000
Alberta:  around $12,000
UBC:  around $11,000
UNB:  around $10,00-
Manitoba:  around $10000
TWU:  around $10,000
Saskatchewan:  around $ 9000
Victoria:  around $9,000
McGill:  around $8000 (even less for Quebec residents)

I’m sure Mr Ford Jr. is the most qualified among Conservative MPPs on multiculturalism.

Reminds me of that dude with the stash in Alberta who is Minister for Women’s Issues.

My new @DalhousieLJ article is ready to go, examining how 4 Canadian provinces (Ontario, Alberta, NS, PEI) have persisted with a 1940s era law excluding lawyers & other professionals from #CollectiveBargaining legislation.

Clear #Charter violation. Yet the exclusions persist.
