From the Spring 2002 issue of Nexus.
Two generous gifts from Martin Teplitsky and Beverley Chernos have been matched by the University and by the provincial government through the Ontario Graduate Scholarship program to create an endowment in support of the Bernard Chernos Graduate Fellowship in Law.
Bernard Chernos Q.C., graduated from the Faculty of Law at the University of Toronto in 1957 as Gold Medalist. In more than 40 years of practice, Mr. Chernos never lost his love for the academic aspect of the law. The Graduate Fellowship is a fitting tribute to his career.
Beverley Chernos, wife of the late Bernard Chernos, is a 1958 graduate of University College and is a good friend of the University of Toronto. Martin Teplitsky is a senior partner at Teplitsky, Colson and a long time associate and friend of Bernard Chernos, with whom Mr. Teplitsky began his legal career practicing civil litigation at the firm of Feigman and Chernos.
This fellowship is open to any graduate student who demonstrates academic excellence and financial need. The Faculty is extremely grateful for the generosity and support of both Mr. Teplitsky and Mrs. Chernos and is honoured to be able to commemorate Bernard Chernos in this way.
