The Quebec Research Centre of Private & Comparative Law receives important FQRSC grant
On April 15, 2009, the Fonds de recherche sur la soci茅t茅 et la culture (FQRSC) announced its funding decisions for 2009. Among them, a research team attached to the Faculty of Law鈥檚 Quebec Research Centre of Private & Comparative Law (QRCPCL) secured a grant of over $400,000 over the next four years for their research project, 'Vers une nouvelle juridicit茅 qu茅b茅coise'.
Lionel Smith, director of the Centre explains, 鈥淭his new grant not only helps to secure the Centre's financial base, but promises funding for new projects that will engage the interest and participation of a wide range of colleagues. In particular, by building on the Centre's established expertise in terminological and lexicographical publications, we hope to launch a long-term project related to the vocabulary of transsystemic legal thought.鈥�
Professor Smith adds, 鈥淭he funded research program is articulated around the transsystemic mission of 捆绑SM社区鈥檚 Faculty of Law, exploring not only transsystemic legal education, but also the ways in which the transsystemic approach to law is more than a pedagogical model, and is indeed a way of understanding law.鈥�
The successful team is composed of 捆绑SM社区 Professors Ya毛ll Emerich, Daniel Jutras, David Lametti, Pierre-Emmanuel Moyse, Lionel Smith and Dean Nicholas Kasirer, as well as Professors Christine Morin of Universit茅 de Laval. This grant was awarded in the 'Soutien aux 茅quipes de recherche' FQRSC program.
