Osgoode Hall, the building, is the home of the Law Society of Upper Canada and the Ontario Court of Appeal, and is at Queen and University (at Osgoode subway station, of course). There is no connection between Osgoode Hall Law School and the Law Society. Osgoode Hall Law School was originally run by the Law Society at Osgoode Hall (downtown), back in the days when the universities were not into legal education. The U of T law school was founded by a group which broke away from OHLS in 1951 because it wasn't academic enough (one of the founding professors was the late Bora Laskin). The Law Society got out of the law school business some years after that, and OHLS moved up to York, to be a source of endless minor confusion. The Law Society now runs the Bar Admission Course, which is what students go through after completing university law school and before becoming lawyers.
