How does the law resolve disputes?
From civil litigation and criminal processes, mediation and negotiation, the law has multiple pathways for resolving disputes that arise between individuals, corporations and/or governments.
Our scholars are shaping the way legal disputes are resolved, rethinking systemic barriers in access to justice, the role of artificial intelligence, fairness in the criminal justice process, and alternative pathways to dispute resolution.
Courses
As a student at U of T Law, you’ll have multiple opportunities to learn trial procedures and advocacy skills, as well as the professional skills required to resolve disputes outside of the courtroom.
You may elect from courses that deal with legal process and dispute resolution, criminal and civil procedure, negotiation and mediation, trial advocacy, class actions, commercial and constitutional litigation.
Beyond the classroom
You also have many opportunities to develop practical experience through our clinics and externships, including Downtown Legal Services and the David Asper Centre for Constitutional Rights.
