Admission and Student Body
About 105 students are enrolled each year. The LSAT is required for admission to the school. The median LSAT score of those admitted in recent years has been at the 89th percentile. In other words, the mean LSAT score of those admitted in recent years has ranged between 162 and 164. The mean undergraduate GPA of those admitted has ranged from 3.82 to 3.90, as measured on the standard North American 4-point system. 55% of the students are women, and 29% are visible minorities.
Additionally, the UVic Law School was also behind the first run of the Akitsiraq Law School, the only law school program to operate in Nunavut. The program involved University of Victoria professors spending rotating semesters in Iqaluit to teach a full curriculum of law school classes. The first run of the program graduated 11 Inuit lawyers in 2005, significantly increasing the number of lawyers in Nunavut.

“Fairy tales are loved by the child not because the imagery he finds in them conforms to what goes on within him, but because—despite all the angry, anxious thoughts in his mind to which the fairy tale gives body and specific content—these stories always result in a happy outcome, which the child cannot imagine on his own.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
