Today, I attended the BFL conference in Toronto 💝 It was a great experience and I met so many like-minded people. Throughout the event, we heard from different speakers including a prosecutor, lawyers, and law students. However, the highlight was a client consultation activity where we worked in groups to create our own firms and onboard a potential client. My team (first slide) won. Overall, it was an insightful event and I learned a lot about the importance of networking and building rapport. Will definitely be attending more events like this one 🥂 —for reach— #prelawstudent #blacklawstudent #blackfuturelawyers #lawyer #blacklawyers #uoftlaw #lawschool

This evening, #UofTLaw and #UofTalumni gathered to commemorate the career and contributions of University Professor Stephen Waddams (1942-2023), an internationally recognized scholar of contract law and legal history. 📚 Speakers reflected on Waddams’ scholarly impact on judiciary and the development of the law, remedies and his areas of expertise in contract law and legal history. He was also fondly remembered for his collegial role, as a professor who taught many of his future colleagues, who all appreciated his ongoing willingness to discuss and share ideas. “Stephen Waddams was a superb scholar, and inspiring teacher and a wonderful colleague,” says Dean Emeritus, the Hon. Robert Sharpe (LLB 1970), a distinguished jurist-in-residence at U of T Law. “He was a vital member of the U of T Law community for over 50 years and one of the great figures in the law school’s history.” --- In tribute to Professor Waddams' lifetime of service to law and legal education, the Waddams family encourages donations to the The Stephen Waddams Bursary: https://uoft.me/waddams-bursary --- Photo: (Back row, left to right): Dean Jutta Brunnée, Dean Emeritus, Justice Sharpe, Professor Martha Shaffer, and Professor Emerita Carol Rogerson; (Seated) Professor Jim Phillips and Professor Emeritus John D.

The Hon. Gloria J. Epstein (LLB 1977, Hon. LLD 2022) K.C., will be honoured February 29 by @torontolawyersassociation. The TLA Award of Distinction recognizes individual excellence and outstanding achievements, and a lifetime of contribution to the integrity and worth of the law. After graduating in from #UofTLaw in 1977, Epstein practised litigation at two large Toronto firms and then opened Gloria Epstein & Associates, one of Toronto’s first female-owned litigation firms, in the mid-1980s. Epstein was appointed to the Ontario Court of Appeal in 2007. Her consequential decision in M v. H paved the way for marriage equality in Canada. She retired from the bench in 2018 to assume leadership of the Independent Civilian Review into Missing Person Investigations. Today, she continues to work as a mediator and arbitrator in Toronto. She received a #UofT Arbor Award in recognition of her contributions to the university in 2007, a YWCA Women of Distinction Award in 2013 and an honorary degree from the Law Society of Ontario in 2019. For her transformative impact on the law and society, and her outstanding service to the university as a mentor and volunteer, Epstein was awarded a Doctor of Laws, honoris causa, from @UofT in 2022. #UofTalumni --- Hon. degree photo of Epstein by @lisasakulensky
