Charter of Rights

The Faculty of Law’s David Asper Centre for Constitutional Rights is pleased to announce lawyer Susan Ursel will be the Asper Centre’s Constitutional-Litigator-in-Residence for fall 2018.

Ursel, a Toronto-based employment and human rights lawyer, will be teaching constitutional advocacy in the Asper Centre clinic during the academic fall term. Drawing upon her extensive experience from her constitutional, human rights and administrative law practice, she will mentor students on the case files that they will be working on in the clinic.
