The authors examine the history of the Faculty of Law at the University of Alberta. Beginning with a look at the early requirements to practice law in Alberta, the authors discuss the events leading to the establishment of the first permanent law school in the province. An analysis of the evolution of the Faculty is conducted. Along the way, the important contributions of many individuals, from John A. Weir to Wilbur Bowker, are acknowledged.
