Canada - Faith-based law school

Source: Agencies | December 22, 2013, Sunday |

Print Edition

Canada’s first faith-based law school has received preliminary approval from the nation’s law societies, despite objections to its seemingly anti-gay policies, it was reported on Wednesday.

Trinity Western University in westernmost Canada received the nod from the Federation of Law Societies of Canada for its plan to enroll 60 first-year law students starting in 2016.

Several prominent lawyers and hundreds of law students, however, expressed concern it might produce barristers with an anti-gay bias. Trinity risks producing “graduates who don’t fully comprehend Section 15 (of the constitution on equality rights),” criminal defense lawyer Eric Gottardi said.
