Margaret E. McCallum
(Ph.D., M.A., B.A., LL.B., University of Toronto) joined the Faculty of Law in 1990, and became a Professor there in 1999. She teaches courses on various aspects of property law, legal professionalism, and social justice. Her research and teaching interests overlap, with particular attention to regulation of property rights and land use on PEI, historically and today.

Her article "The Prince Edward Island Lands Protection Act: The Art of the Possible" was published in volume 58 of the University of New Brunswick Law Journal.
Dr. McCallum is currently collaborating with Dr. Bittermann on a SSHRCC-funded research project on the environmental history of Prince Edward Island, and on research on Canada's contribution to the development of jurisprudence and policy on indigenous rights internationally.
