The University of Toronto Faculty of Law (U of T Law, UToronto Law) is the law school of the University of Toronto. Maclean's has consistently assessed the Faculty as the highest ranked common law school in Canada and the highest ranked in terms of faculty journal citations.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] The Faculty offers the JD, LLM, SJD, MSL, and GPLLM degrees in law.

Among its alumni are a Canadian Prime Minister, three Chiefs of Staff to the Prime Minister, two Premiers of Ontario, two Mayors of Toronto, and fourteen Justices of the Supreme Court of Canada, including one of the nine currently-sitting Justices, Sheilah Martin. A number of deans at North American law schools—Columbia Law School, University of Manitoba, and Queen's Faculty of Law—are University of Toronto Law graduates.[10]

The current Dean of the Faculty of Law (as of January 1, 2021) is Jutta Brunnée, an international and environmental law scholar.
