Indigenous Law and Legal Ethics Teaching Week

Monday, March 15 - Friday, March 19, 2020
12:30 PM - 2:00 PM

About this Teaching Series

Indigenous legal orders operate across Turtle Island and have for thousands of years. While the Nations and laws are diverse, all legal orders have, at their core, ethical codes of conduct that could be used in Canadian law schools as a framework to teach legal ethics. In this series of teachings, we welcome Elders, Knowledge Keepers and other Traditional Teachers to share stories and lead discussions on how we can use Indigenous law to create more ethical lawyers in the Canadian justice system.
