Celebrating our outstanding graduate program

Building on the tradition of bringing together minds and opportunities to ignite breakthrough thinking, the University of Toronto Faculty of Law sets itself apart from its peers as a premier training ground for academic leaders.

Our research stream students are a highly accomplished group. They could have elected to pursue graduate studies anywhere and we are gratified that they chose U of T. They have been remarkably successful in winning competitive external grants, such as the prestigious Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship, Trudeau Foundation, SSHRC CGS-D, the Governor General’s Gold Medal, Connaught International Scholarship, and the C. David Naylor University Fellowships.

As this issue of Nexus highlights, our SJDs have also had great success in securing tenure or tenure-stream faculty positions across Canada and beyond.

We are incredibly proud of our extraordinary graduate students—past and present—as they become scholars and join us in educating future generations of lawyers and leaders across Canada and beyond. They are helping shape the world around us through their insight and expertise.
