(March 8, 2010) Our loss is Osgoode Law School's gain. Our very own Prof. Lorne Sossin becomes the new dean of York University's law school, starting July 1, 2010.

And you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone at the Faculty of Law who wouldn't agree that this announcement comes with pleasure, pride and regret.

On March 3, 2010, the Faculty of Law hosted a discussion on "Current Conditions and Outlook in Global Credit Markets." Professor Edward Altman, of the Stern School of Business, New York University, gave a presentation, followed by a panel discussion with international and Toronto specialists in the field.

You can watch the entire event online, and read Prof. Altman's presentation.

Professor Ran Hirschl will deliver the endowed Foundation for Law, Justice, and Society Annual Lecture at Oxford University. Previous speakers include such noted luminaries as Douglass North (Nobel Laureate and Professor of Economics at Stanford University), Cass Sunstein (noted legal theorist and Professor of Law at Harvard Law School), and Aharon Barak (former President of the Supreme Court of Israel).
