Our history
First opened in March 1991, our library is named in honour and memory of The Right Honourable Bora Laskin (1912-1984). Laskin was a founding figure and faculty member of the University of Toronto's Faculty of Law, with deep expertise in constitutional and labour law.
Reopened in 2016, our library spans three floors within the Jackman Law Building and includes the Torys Hall Reading Room.
