History
Courses in Jurisprudence and Constitutional Government were offered at the University of Saskatchewan as early as 1910-11 as part of the Political Science programme. The following term witnessed an expansion in both the type and number of subjects presented for Honours students. The College, established in 1912, enrolled its first students in 1913-14 for classes offered downtown after working hours (to accommodate articling students) by members of the local legal fraternity. In 1922 responsibility for training and examining law students was transferred from Wetmore Hall in Regina to the College of Law in Saskatoon. The following individuals have served as Dean: A. Moxon (1920-1929); F.C. Cronkite (1929-1961); O.E. Lang (1961-1968); R.C. Carter (1968-1974); D.A. Schmeiser (1974-1975); R.C. Cuming (1975-1976); D.H. Clark (1976-1983); D. Ish (1983-1988); R.P.
