鈥淧rofessor Forray brings his considerable energies and experience to his new role, along with a clear vision of the potential for the Centre to play a key role in intensifying connections between colleagues within the faculty, among our sister faculties of the civil law, and beyond,鈥� said Dean Robert Leckey. 鈥淗e appreciates the Centre鈥檚 multiple identities as the Francophone locus for scholarship within the Faculty of Law and the sole unit carrying on fundamental research and continuing legal education on the civil law in English.鈥�

The Faculty is grateful to Professor Ya毛ll Emerich for her contributions to the Centre during her term as Director. Under her leadership, the Centre continued its rich program of research through, notably, the Civil Law Workshops and annual Summer Institute of Jurilinguistics. The Centre held special conferences on transsystemic legal education and on access to land. 鈥淚 am grateful for Professor Emerich鈥檚 generous contributions to the Centre, including a broadening of its interdisciplinary engagement through her superb conference relating to land and her Civil Law Workshops,鈥� said Dean Robert Leckey.
