The Schulich School of Law is the law school of Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Founded in 1883 as Dalhousie Law School, it is the oldest university-based common law school in Canada, it adopted its current name in October 2009 after receiving a $20-million endowment from Canadian businessman and philanthropist Seymour Schulich. Today, the Schulich School of Law is the largest law school in Atlantic Canada. With 500 students enrolled each year and a faculty of Rhodes and Trudeau scholars, the school promises “one of the most prestigious and comprehensive legal educations in North America.” Located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, a maritime city on the east coast of Canada, the Schulich School of Law is rooted in the vision of its first dean, Richard Chapman Weldon, who believed lawyers had a responsibility to contribute to their communities’ well-being. Unlike his contemporaries at Osgoode Hall Law School at York University, Weldon aspired to treat the study of law as a full-time, liberal education.
It was not, as Osgoode was, an outpost for the province's professional law society where law was seen as "merely a technical craft."At the time of its founding, the establishment of a university common law school was so radical – and its subsequent influence so great – that legal historians cite Dal Law as the basis for law school today. In W. Wesley Pue's Story of Legal Education in British Columbia, a book that chronicles the establishment of the University of British Columbia Faculty of Law 62 years after Dalhousie Law School first opened, Pue notes that: "Dalhousie" serves as a sort of code-word among legal educators in Canada, much as "Harvard" does in the United States of America, it invokes a vision of intellectually ambitious and scholarly approaches to education for the profession of law. In British Columbia, the transformation from part-time to full-time study involved the implementation of a model of legal education, "Dalhousie" in all respects. In discussing the motivations that led to the establishment of a full-time common law school, Weldon described the "'legitimate ambition' of'generous spirits who wish their country well' to build a law school'that shall influence the intellectual life of Canada as Harvard and Yale have influenced the intellectual life of New England.'"Based on Weldon's comments in his inaugural address at the opening of the law school, it's unsurprising that the Schulich School of Law has shared a storied connection with Harvard University.
Although Dalhousie was influenced early on by the high standards of academic excellence set by Harvard Law School, it placed a decidedly unique emphasis on the subjects of public law, constitutional history, international law, fields that were notably absent from Harvard's curriculum in the 1880s. The school was ranked in the top three Canadian law schools in Corporate Knights' 2011 Knight Schools Survey. Maclean's 2013 ranking of Canadian common law schools placed the school sixth out of 16; the Schulich School of Law was the first Canadian law school awarded the Emil Gumpuert Award by the American College of Trial Lawyers for excellence in trial advocacy training. In 1966, the school moved to its current home, the Weldon Law Building, on Dalhousie's Studley Campus. On August 16, 1985, a lightning strike caused a short in Weldon's electrical system, which started a fire that destroyed most of the Sir James Dunn Law Library; the library reopened four years in 1989. Refurbishments to the Weldon Law Building took place in 2004 with the addition of the James and Barbara Palmer Wing and in 2016 with the Facade Renewal Project.
In phases one and two of the Facade Renewal Project, windows were replaced, walls were insulated, stonework was reinforced on the third and fourth floors of the building. In phases three and four, construction was focused on the building's second floors. Here, crews removed existing stonework, installed an accessible ramp to the school's entrance on University Avenue, redid the school's front entrance. Inside the building, the centre staircase that existed between the first and second floor has been removed to make way for the creation of modern administrative office space on the second floor to provide a new and improved area for the administrative staff; the faculty's mosaic laid at the top of the stairs on the second floor and which weighs close to 2,500 lbs. was preserved and laid outside of the new administrative space. In January 2011, the Senate voted to change Dalhousie's law degree designation from a Bachelor of Laws to a Juris Doctor. Students attending the Schulich School of Law today can undertake a regular JD degree or concentrate their JD in one of four specific areas: health law, business law/corporate law and environmental law, law and technology.
The school offers a variety of combined-degree programs for undergraduate students: JD/MBA JD/MPA JD/MLIS JD/MHA JD/MJ. The JD/MJ combination is the first of its kind in Canada; the Schulich School of Law gives 20 to 30 aspiring professors and jurists who wish to enhance their knowledge of law and specialize in a particular areas/areas of law the option to pursue a postgraduate degree at the school: LLM PhD MEC Interdisciplinary PhD programAs an accredited law school in Canada, graduates are eligible to proceed to bar admission and articling programs throughout the country.

While serving under the command of Union General Francis Herron, in Huntsville, Baldwin had nine local men executed on January 10, 1863, for reasons that still today are unknown.
This became known as the "Huntsville Massacre". Baldwin was arrested for this event, charged with "violation of the 6th Article of War for the murder of prisoners of war." He was transported to Springfield and held for trial. However, when many of the witnesses were found to be on active duty and unable to attend the trial, many local civilian witnesses had been displaced or were otherwise unable to make the trip to Springfield, the charges against Baldwin were dropped, he was dismissed from the army.
