The College of Law at the University of Saskatchewan is the university's law school. Located in Saskatoon in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, the College of Law was established in 1912 and is the oldest law school in Western Canada, a distinction it shares with the University of Alberta. Approximately 126 students are admitted to the College of Law each year.〔http://law.usask.ca/programs/law-degree/index.php〕 In the fall term of 2011/2012, the college had 375 students. Previously, it has 373 students (2010/2011); 362 students (2009/2010); and 370 students (2008/2009).〔http://www.usask.ca/isa/statistics/students/headcount-demographics.php〕 The Interim Dean is Beth Bilson. 〔http://law.usask.ca/find-people/faculty/bilson-beth.php〕 ==History== At the beginning of the 20th century, there was no structured course of legal training in Saskatchewan. Completion of high school was the only prerequisite for admission to a five-year apprenticeship (3 years for those with a university degree). In the spring of 1913, the University of Saskatchewan appointed its first law professor, Arthur Moxon, previously a professor of classics in the University’s College of Arts and Sciences. At around the same time, the Law Society of Saskatchewan began offering lectures to articling students in Regina at a school of its own making, later called Wetmore Hall. The following decade would be marked by conflict between the Law Society and the fledging University law faculty regarding responsibility for legal training in the Province. Ultimately, Wetmore Hall was closed by resolution of the Law Society in 1922 and the University of Saskatchewan inherited full responsibility for the training of aspiring lawyers in Saskatchewan.〔Beth Bilson, “‘Prudence Rather than Valor’: Legal Education in Saskatchewan 1908-23” (1998) 61 Sask.
