Hello Class of 2023!

Welcome and congratulations on your acceptance to the Peter A. Allard School of Law! UBC has one of the best law schools in the country, and getting accepted is a HUGE accomplishment!

Our names are Benae and Riley, and we are your Orientation Coordinators. We both loved our first year at Allard, and are so excited to welcome you into our community during Orientation. You can look forward to an exciting program full of inspiring speakers from the legal community, informative panels, and engaging social events.

We will be posting important information throughout the summer on this website. Here, you will find information about different clubs and societies at Allard, answers to frequently asked questions, bios from your professors, and more detailed information about Orientation as it is released. Orientation is not only where you begin your legal education, but is also where you will form bonds with classmates that you will carry into your legal career.

You will be kept up to date with all the information you need to know about Orientation and your first year of law school. You will receive important emails periodically, but check back here frequently for updated posts and information as well. In addition, make sure to join the Class of 2023 Facebook group to connect with your classmates and receive updates about upcoming events.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email us at orientation@allard.ubc.ca. We would love to hear from you! Similarly, if you would like to learn more about the student experience and get in touch with a Student Ambassador (an upper-year law student) via email, you can do so through the Allard School of Law Ambassador page.

And finally, take the time to enjoy your summer! Try not to stress about preparing for law school – you will learn everything you need to know to be prepared before classes begin.

We are looking forward to meeting all of you soon!

Benae & Riley
