The Peter A. Allard School of Law (abbreviated as Allard Law) is the law school of the University of British Columbia.[3] The faculty offers the Juris Doctor degree. The faculty features courses on business law, tax law, environmental and natural resource law, indigenous law, Pacific Rim issues, and feminist legal theory.

It was renamed from the University of British Columbia Faculty of Law in 2015 to honour a $30M gift from Peter Allard, an alumnus, which followed a 2011 gift from him of about $12M.[4]
