Alumni - Schulich School of Law

Alumni

The success of the Indigenous Blacks & Mi'kmaq Initiative is best illustrated by the accomplishments and contributions of the over 80 law graduates who entered Dalhousie University Schulich School of Programme. Our alumni practice in all areas of law including Aboriginal law, tax, corporate, constitutional, criminal, environmental, family, human rights, labour and employment. They are in private practice. They are legal counsel to First Nations and advisors to Aboriginal organizations. They are practicing within provincial and federal legal departments and legal aid offices. Some have pursued academic careers or serve as policy advisors, combining law with other disciplines. Others have pursued political careers or branched out into the arts.

All of our alumni have their own unique histories and experiences, which are linked to their communities. As such, they make the legal profession more representative of the people it serves and the practice of law more inclusive, and by extension, more just. They give back to their communities and to the legal profession through serving on boards and committees, developing community-based organizations and volunteering in other ways. Many of our alumni have chosen to address issues of concern to First Nations and African Canadians, including racism and discrimination. They are all points of access to law for their communities, serving as sources of legal information, role models and mentors.
