Many congratulations go to the winners of the 17th annual Frank W. Callaghan Memorial Moot: Azeezah Kanji and Deirdre Bryant, who mooted in the final round against Meagan Jemmett and Anu Koshal, before Justices of the Superior Court of Ontario. All four finalists were coached by Chris Cairns and Graeme Deuchars.  The Callaghan is organised and warmly supported by Professor Hamish Stewart.

 
Participants in "Walk a Day in Her Shoes"

They started off 'pumped' but by the end of the day, many male law professors and students were in considerable pain (unsurprisingly) after wearing high heels on International Women's Day, March 8, 2012.

Each year, the Students' Law Society awards 3 Fellowships to U of T law students to fund their public interest projects during the summer. Candidates must find a public interest organization where they would like work, obtain that organization's support for their project, and submit a proposal to the SLS. This year there were many excellent proposals submitted, making the selection process highly competitive. We are pleased to announce the three law students whose projects have been selected: Robin McNamara, Teresa MacLean, and Megan Strachan.

Profs. Angela Fernandez and Markus Dubber are the co-editors of Law Books in Action: Essays on the Anglo-American Legal Treatise (Oxford: Hart Books, 2012). The book's 11 chapters include articles by Prof. Fernandez and U of T Profs. Stephen Waddams and Jim Phillips.
