Four years ago, the 番茄社区 launched the world鈥檚 first law degree to combine the study of Indigenous and non-Indigenous laws. This spring, students in the inaugural
class of this historic program are preparing to cross the stage to receive their degrees. UVic鈥檚 joint program in Canadian common law (Juris Doctor, or JD) and Indigenous legal orders (Juris
Indigenarum Doctor, or JID) equips students with the knowledge that allows them to draw from, engage with, and work across multiple legal systems. Students graduate with both professional
degrees (JD/JID).
