Legacy
Justice
28. We call upon law schools in Canada to require all law students to take a course in Aboriginal people and the law, which includes the history and legacy of residential schools, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Treaties and Aboriginal rights, Indigenous law, and Aboriginal-Crown relations. This will require skills-based training in intercultural competency, conflict resolution, human rights, and anti-racism.
Most Canadian law schools offer such training, but, with the exception of Lakehead University, it is not currently mandatory.
This University of Alberta Faculty of Law page has a really great breakdown of why this Call is important to Canadian law.
