Few of us at the law school would have imagined when the global pandemic was declared on March 11, 2020, that more than a year later, we would continue to deliver courses remotely for a third term, with Toronto still facing lockdown measures.
Alexandre Cohen (LLB 2000) established the Albert Cohen Memorial Award in 2017 to support a full-time student who is the first in their family to attend law school.
"With financial means being such a big determining factor in who gets access to a legal education, I wanted to do my part to help level the playing field, even if just for one person in a small way," says Cohen.
