The Faculty of Law, with the University of Toronto's Department of Public Health Sciences and Joint Centre for Bioethics, has initiated a seminar series on "Public Health Ethics, Law and Policy."

We have now made a webcast available of the inaugural seminar, on the subject of "Differing Perspectives on the Gardasil/HPV-Vaccination Program in Ontario." Held at the Faculty of Law on March 20, 2008, it featured the following speakers:

A symposium on "The Future of Administrative Justice" was hosted by the Faculty of Law in January 2008. It explored the future of administrative justice by bringing together academics, participants in the tribunal sector and government policy makers to dialogue about improvements to administrative tribunals in Ontario and other jurisdictions.

A 28-page report on the symposium has now been released (May 2008), which summarizes the presentations and the roundtable discussion that wrapped up the day.

The Faculty of Law is pleased to announce that Yasmin Dawood will be joining the Faculty in July of 2009, after completing her two year SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University's Centre for Ethics.
