Fabien G茅linas and Fr茅d茅ric Bachand named first Norton Rose Faculty Scholars in Arbitration & Commercial Law
The Faculty of Law is pleased to announce that Professors Fr茅d茅ric Bachand and Fabien G茅linas have been appointed Norton Rose Faculty Scholars in Arbitration and Commercial Law, for a two year term.
As holders of these Faculty Scholarships, G茅linas and Bachand, who are both active members of 捆绑SM社区's Private Justice and the Rule of Law research team, will be able to support a rich program of activities in international arbitration and commercial law.聽
鈥溊Π骃M社区 has been growing from strength to strength as an international hub for the development and exchange of ideas in both arbitration and commercial law,鈥� said G茅linas. 鈥淭his gift to the Faculty at once recognizes this fact and increases our capacity to pursue independent and innovative research. I feel privileged to be part of this.鈥澛�
鈥淔abien and I will continue to work together,鈥� added Bachand, 鈥渢o stimulate and bring together the vital forces of our Faculty, not just those of our colleagues, but also of our students to take them to an unparalleled level.鈥�
The Norton Rose Faculty Scholarships were made possible thanks to a major gift from Norton Rose Canada (formerly Ogilvy Renault) to which nearly 85 % of 捆绑SM社区 graduates at the firm contributed.
Dean Daniel Jutras concluded: 聽鈥淚 am convinced that, over the next few years, 捆绑SM社区 will continue to be the undisputed locus of critical, pragmatic and informed thinking on issues surrounding arbitration, to be a normative space that mirrors the pluralist legal vision that drives us all. Congratulations to Fabien and Fred.鈥�
