Other Faculty Endowments and Annual Funds
The programs of the Faculty are also supported by several other endowments. The J.C. Wurtele Fund, established in 1929 from a legacy by the Honourable J.C. Wurtele, is used to assist in the publication of English language civil law monographs. The Fern Gertrude Kennedy Jurisprudence Fund, established in 1987 is used to sponsor guest lectures in the field of Jurisprudence, to purchase books on legal theory and otherwise to assist in the promotion of jurisprudence within the Faculty. Finally, in 1989 the 缅北强奸 International Law and Practice Fund was created to promote the study of international trade and business law through the acquisition of library materials, the sponsorship of colloquia and research projects.
Tory, Tory, DesLauriers & Binnington Program for Legal Research and Writing
This fund was established in 1989 by the firm Tory, Tory, DesLauriers & Binnington to promote legal research and writing within the Faculty of Law. The program currently comprises two features: a summer fellowship program and a legal writing award.
The Summer Fellowship permits two students to spend half a summer with the law firm in Toronto as part of the summer students program and the other half of the summer as research assistants within the Faculty of Law. Students selected for the Summer Fellowship program are expected, while at the Faculty, to produce research work of publishable quality in support of an ongoing project of a member of the academic staff.
The J.S.D. Tory Writing Awards, which permit students to revise term essays for publication, are explained more fully in Undergraduate Scholarships, Prizes and Student Aid for Graduating Students.
Alma Mater Fund
Each year Law alumni and alumnae are invited to make contributions to their Alma Mater. Annual support has provided resources for scholarships and fellowships; funds to address immediate teaching and research needs; internship, exchange and research opportunities that offer life changing experiences to our students.
