Welcome to the Legal & Literary Society
Your Osgoode Hall Law School Student Government. Established in 1876.
Founded in 1876, we are responsible for coordinating and funding the numerous professional, athletic, social and extracurricular activities at Osgoode Hall Law School.
Osgoode Hall Law School is situated on land which is the traditional territory of many Indigenous Nations. The area known as Tkaronto has been care taken by the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Huron-Wendat, and the Métis. It is now home to many Indigenous Peoples. We acknowledge the current treaty holders, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This territory is subject of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement to peaceably share and care for the Great Lakes region.
