	==~~Allard Hall~~==		==History==
			Courses in law were taught at UBC from its founding. However, UBC did not create a formal Faculty of Law until 1945; it did so in response to the large number of veterans returning from World War II requiring post-secondary education. Given special funding by the provincial government, the law school hired ] from Dalhousie's Faculty of Law to serve as its first Dean. Within two months the faculty was educating its first incoming class. Due to a lack of infrastructure, the University secured army huts that had been used to house servicemen during the war to house the law school until a permanent structure became available.<ref>http://faculty.law.ubc.ca/Pue/historybook/school.html</ref> The law school became the standard means by which prospective lawyers could become members of the bar, replacing the traditional approach that involved articling under an established lawyer in a relationship much like an apprenticeship.

			In 1951, after the inadequacy of the army huts became apparent, the faculty received funding from the university to build its own permanent structure. This building became the first permanent structure for the faculty, and remained so until 1973. During this era, the law school pioneered the use of ]s, collections of excerpts from legal cases designed to illustrate principles derived from judicial decisions.<ref>http://faculty.law.ubc.ca/Pue/historybook/school10h.html</ref>

			On January 22, 2015, UBC announced a transformational $30 million gift from law alumnus Peter A. Allard, QC. In recognition of his gift, the university renamed the law school as the Peter A. Allard School of Law. <ref>http://news.ubc.ca/2015/01/22/peter-a-allard-q-c-donates-30-million-to-ubc-faculty-of-law/</ref> <ref>http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/bc-lawyer-donates-record-30-million-to-ubc-law-school/article22598860/</ref>

Peter A. Allard School of Law
Motto	Template:Lang-la
Motto in English	Let justice be done though the heavens fall
Type	Public Law School
Dean	Catherine Dauvergne
Students	600 (2013)
Location	Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

The Peter A. Allard School of Law is the law school of the University of British Columbia. It offers a three-year Juris Doctor (JD) program and the graduate degrees of Master of Laws (LLM), Master of Laws Common Law (LLMCL) and doctorate (PhD) degrees. Among other things, the faculty has courses emphasizing Pacific Rim issues, business law, tax law, environmental and natural resource law, indigenous law, and feminist law. It was renamed from the University of British Columbia Faculty of Law in 2015 to honor a $30M gift from Peter Allard, an alumnus, which followed a 2011 gift from him of about $12M.

Academics

The school was ranked 3rd in Canada and 31st in the world in the 2016 QS World University Rankings of law schools. It was fifth among Canadian law schools in Maclean's 2013 rankings.

History

Courses in law were taught at UBC from its founding. However, UBC did not create a formal Faculty of Law until 1945; it did so in response to the large number of veterans returning from World War II requiring post-secondary education. Given special funding by the provincial government, the law school hired George Curtis from Dalhousie's Faculty of Law to serve as its first Dean. Within two months the faculty was educating its first incoming class. Due to a lack of infrastructure, the University secured army huts that had been used to house servicemen during the war to house the law school until a permanent structure became available. The law school became the standard means by which prospective lawyers could become members of the bar, replacing the traditional approach that involved articling under an established lawyer in a relationship much like an apprenticeship.

In 1951, after the inadequacy of the army huts became apparent, the faculty received funding from the university to build its own permanent structure. This building became the first permanent structure for the faculty, and remained so until 1973. During this era, the law school pioneered the use of casebooks, collections of excerpts from legal cases designed to illustrate principles derived from judicial decisions.

On January 22, 2015, UBC announced a transformational $30 million gift from law alumnus Peter A. Allard, QC. In recognition of his gift, the university renamed the law school as the Peter A. Allard School of Law.

Allard Hall

The school is located at the University of British Columbia's campus near Vancouver, British Columbia. In 2011 it moved out of its former building, a brutalist-style building with malfunctioning heating and cooling and into a new building that had recently been completed. The building cost around $56M; the university used $21M of its own funds and the rest came from donations, including $12M from The Law Foundation of B.C. In 2011 shortly before students and faculty began moving in, Peter Allard, an alumnus, donated about $12 million to the school, with about $10M of it going to complete the capital campaign; the building was named after him.

Allard Prize for International Integrity

The Allard Prize was established in 2012 and was initially funded by part of the 2011 gift from Allard and further funded by a subsequent $30M donation by Allard in 2015.

The first prize was awarded in 2013, and it is given biennially to an individual, movement or organization that has "demonstrated exceptional courage and leadership in combating corruption, especially through promoting transparency, accountability and the Rule of Law". It is one of the world's largest prizes dedicated to the fight against corruption and protecting human rights.

The winner receives CAD$100,000 and a trophy; Honourable Mention recipients receive a trophy and may be awarded a cash amount at the discretion of the Allard Prize Committee.

Many Allard Prize nominees and recipients have been, and continue to be, subjected to threats, violence, imprisonment and other attacks associated with their anti-corruption and human rights activities. One Honourable Mention recipient (Sergei Magnitsky) was nominated posthumously after being tortured and dying in a Russian prison.
