USask’s Legal Office is a community of professionals that oversees the provision of internal and external legal services to the institution and provides strategic legal consultation and support on a comprehensive range of legal issues, policies and procedures. The Legal Office is housed in the Office of the President and offers legal services to all academic, research and support units across campus. The Legal Office supports the entire campus.
