Faculty of Law
Queen's UniversityResearch in the Faculty of Law at Queen’s
The Faculty of Law at Queen’s is an academic community dedicated to excellence in legal research and scholarship. For over 50 years the work of Queen’s law professors has influenced legal ideas and legal practice in Canada and beyond. Through books, journal articles, reports, conference proceedings, and submissions to governments and international organizations, members of the Queen’s law faculty have helped to define the contours of the law as a fundamental human value.
Scholarly research at Queen’s is diverse. It ranges from critical analysis of legal doctrine to theoretical reflection on law’s normative assumptions. It is interdisciplinary in focus, comparative in nature, and international in relevance. It is valued by lawyers and judges confronted by hard cases, by governments and policy makers challenged by social problems, by philosophers seeking to understand law’s place within diverse communities and nations, and, of course, by law students engaged in the task of legal learning.
Members of the law faculty at Queen’s have been honoured with research awards, grants and fellowships, and they are recognized nationally and internationally as leading experts in their fields. Faculty members are frequently asked by governments and international organizations to advise on legal and constitutional reform, and they often appear before parliamentary committees to testify on legal issues of local, national and international concern.
Faculty members maintain research links with related departments at Queen’s. Some examples include: Medicine, Business, Policy Studies, Political Studies, Economics, Women’s Studies, Philosophy, and Psychology. Faculty members are also engaged in projects with legal scholars at other universities and institutions across the country and around the world.
