“Canada 2020: The Future of Public Interest Law” was the 2011 theme for the annual Student Public Interest Network Legal Action Workshop (SPINLAW), held March 12, 2011 at the Faculty of Law.

Organized by students from the University of Toronto and Osgoode Hall law schools, SPINLAW creates a forum for students, local activists and community members to share their experiences and perspectives on current social justice issues.

Prof. Kent Roach has published a new book, The 9/11 Effect: Comparative Counter-Terrorism (Cambridge University Press, 2011).

Prof. Ayelet Shachar explores the use of citizenship as an Olympic recruiting tool in her new article "Picking Winners: Olympic Winners and the Global Race for Talent," currently published in the prestigious Yale Law Journal.
