Who we are

Established in 1887, the Faculty of Law is one of the oldest professional faculties at the University of Toronto with a long and illustrious history (UofT Law). It is one of the world’s great law schools, a dynamic academic and social community of approximately 700 undergraduate and graduate students and more than 50 full time faculty members. UofT Law’s in-house legal clinics play a key role in the academic curriculum and have important impacts on our local, national and international communities.

IPC caseworkers are upper year law students at the University of Toronto, Faculty of Law.  Law students work directly with clients on their cases under the supervision of a staff lawyer, the IPC Director.

The IPC also develops and delivers public legal education and works on policy projects through various Working Groups of student volunteers. In the 2020-2021 academic year, thirty student volunteers are working over three IPC Working Groups on projects relating to policy, research and the development of public legal education related to investor protection:
