Welcome to U of T Law!
The first step towards having a great law school experience is ensuring that you have a smooth and successful transition into the law school community. This starts during the summer, ramps up during the first two weeks of our official Orientation (August 18 – August 29, 2025), and continues throughout your first term.
Our 1L Orientation is designed to give you an introduction to the three main components of your law school experience: Academics, Student Life - Resources and Supports, and Social Activities. All students must register for orientation using their UTMail+ address (your @mail.utoronto.ca email address) via the orientation registration form that will be emailed to you July, 2025. If you have not already done so, please complete your registration by the end of day on July 25, 2025.
Our goal for orientation is to make sure that you have a solid general sense of the institution and community you are joining, how things work, and where to ask questions, before you start the school year in September. 1L Orientation will also create space for you to get to know each other and start to build your law school community.
Please note: the schedule, below, will be updated regularly. The schedule below gives you an idea of what the two weeks will look like, but various events may be moved, adapted, or cut from the final schedule. Please refer back to the schedule regularly with the most up-to-date room and location information.
