Student life

Emilie Taman (Class of 2004) is a former president of the Domus Legis Society.
All law students are members of the Law Students' Society (LSS) which appoints representatives to faculty committees, arranges for speakers to visit the school, and organizes social events and programs. It also oversees publication of a law students' newspaper, The Weldon Times, The Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies, and the annual yearbook.

Dalhousie offers many sports and social facilities, with something to appeal to most students. Some of the student organizations active at the school are: the Dalhousie Association of Women and the Law (DAWL), the Environmental Law Students' Society (ELSS), the Dalhousie Aboriginal Law Students Association (DALSA), the Society for Corporate Environmental and Social Responsibility (CESR), the Dalhousie Black Law Students Association (DBLSA), the Social Activist Law Students Association (SALSA), the John Read International Law Society (ILSS), and Law Hour Speakers' Committee. 

More than just a collegiate society, the Domus Legis Society is Canada's oldest student law society.

Dalhousie University features a major athletics and sports complex known as Dalplex. Indoor facilities there include a 50-metre swimming pool and a gymnasium/field house the size of a football field.
