Meet Aaron Tolkamp, Class of 2026 – Dal.ca

May 14, 2026

In the coming weeks, we’ll feature Q&As with graduating law students who will reflect on their time at Weldon. Today we’re talking to Aaron Tolkamp.

Why did you want to attend the Schulich School of Law?

I was drawn to the Schulich School of Law for several reasons. First and foremost, I applied with the intention of eventually practicing Aboriginal law and felt that the range of Aboriginal and Indigenous law courses offered granted me the best opportunity to learn about that unique area of practice. Second, I chose to study at Weldon because of its reputation as a community-focused environment that was well respected across the country. And finally, because ‘place’ is important to me, Halifax felt like a city I could grow in and learn from.
