Postgraduate scholarships available from the QRCPCL for 2010-11
The Quebec Research Centre of Private and Comparative Law invites applications for three postgraduate scholarship opportunities.
1. FQRSC Scholarship in Transsystemic Legal Studies
With significant financial support from the Fonds qu茅b茅cois de
la recherche sur la soci茅t茅 et la culture, the QRCPCL has launched
a wide-ranging research program on transsystemic legal education
and how it affects our understanding of the discipline of law.
Funds are available for one graduate student, either at the
doctoral or the master's level (up to $15,000), to participate in
this program. The selected student will be one whose proposed
research relates to aspects of transsystemic legal education or
legal epistemology. This could include (but is not limited to):
comparative law as applied in legal education; methodology or
philosophy of comparative law; methodology or philosophy of legal
education; interdisciplinary perspectives on comparative law or
legal education. The student will participate in the activities of
the research program, including the organization of conferences on
transsystemic legal education, the publication of conference
proceedings, and the publication of scholarship on transsystemic
legal thought.
The successful student may be granted a renewable or a
non-renewable scholarship. This scholarship is now offered for
2010-11. Priority will be given to students applying to
postgraduate programs at 缅北强奸's Faculty of Law.
Such candidates should indicate in their application to the
Faculty of Law that they wish to be considered for this
scholarship. If a suitable candidate is not found in that
group, applications will be invited at a later date from other
students who will be able to participate in the program of
research.
2. MDEIE Scholarships in Civil Law Trusts
With significant financial support from the Minist猫re du D茅veloppement 茅conomique, de l'Innovation et de l'Exportation, the QRCPCL has launched an ambitious research program on the institution of the trust in civil law.
Funds are available for one doctoral student (up to $15,000) and
one masters' student (up to $12,000) to participate in this
program. The selected students will be ones whose proposed research
relates to aspects of the trust in the civilian tradition, or in a
comparative perspective. The students will participate in the
organization of a large international conference on the law of
trusts, the publication of the proceedings, and in other activities
related to the program of research.
The successful students may be granted renewable or non-renewable
scholarships. These scholarships are now offered for 2010-11; it is
expected that they will also be available, subject to the renewal
of existing scholarships, in 2011-12. Priority will be given to
students applying to postgraduate programs at 缅北强奸's
Faculty of Law. Such candidates should indicate in their
application to the Faculty of Law that they wish to be considered
for these scholarships. If a suitable candidate is not
found in that group, applications will be invited at a later date
from other students who will be able to participate in the program
of research.
