His nickname was meant simply as a mark of respect, but it also revealed the kind of leader he was. Cecil “Caesar” Wright transformed legal education in Ontario, and in the process, started the modern University of Toronto law school on its path to becoming one of the finest in the world.
We kicked off our celebratory year with a gala event on Saturday, September 14, 2024.
Inspired by the "Law Follies" tradition — poking fun at the quirks of law school and the legal profession — students, alumni, professors and former deans took to the stage, in what proved to be a night of uproarious laughter and nostalgic reflection.
A special thanks to the night's master of ceremonies, Bob Rae (LLB 1977), Canada's Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the UN.
Thank you for helping us mark 75 years of U of T’s modern law school with your generous support.
