When the first proposal for a national securities commission was made, Mackenzie King was Prime Minister. It was quickly stomped to death by the provinces.

On March 24, 2007, U of T students took first place in the Fasken Martineau First Year International Law Moot Competition held at the Federal Court of Canada in Toronto. Students Adam Lazier and Kiran Patel earned honourable mentions as oralists.  This is the second time that U of T students have won the competition since it was founded in 1989.

Faculty of Law students have once again achieved an impressive winning streak in competitive moots. In January, second-year students Tammy Jacobson and Todd Orvitz won the Annual Canadian Labour Arbitration Moot, sponsored by Matthews, Dinsdale & Clark LLP. They were particularly grateful for the support they received from their coach and mentor, alumnus Laura Trachuk ('86).
