In the evaluation, Ottawa's Faculty of Law placed first in the "National Reach" category, making it the most diversified program in the country. Maclean's ranked the common law program in fourth place overall. "We do well on Bay Street and everywhere else," states Dean Daniel Gervais, "and we are proud of the fact that our students often choose alternative career paths." In addition, Canadian Lawyer ranked the school as 5th-best in the country. More recently, in their 2009 Knights Schools report, the Corporate Knights business magazine ranked the University of Ottawa Common Law Section as the 3rd best program in the country (out of 21).

Famous quotes containing the word reputation:
“I am sorry to say we whites have a sad reputation among many of the Polynesians. The natives of these islands are naturally of a kindly and hospitable temper, but there has been implanted among them an almost instinctive hate of the white man. They esteem us, with rare exceptions, such as some of the missionaries, the most barbarous, treacherous, irreligious, and devilish creatures on the earth.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“It is said that a rogue does not look you in the face, neither does an honest man look at you as if he had his reputation to establish.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“This one fact the world hates; that the soul becomes; for that forever degrades the past, turns all riches to poverty, all reputation to a shame, confounds the saint with the rogue, shoves Jesus and Judas equally aside.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
