The new award will recognize the best annual submission to the Faculty of Law's student-edited Indigenous Law Journal

Métis lawyer Justin Basinger (1987-2020), a graduate of the University of Toronto Faculty of Law, is being remembered through the establishment of an annual prize designated to the academic journal he once co-edited. Family, friends and colleagues united to contribute more than $35,000 to establish the endowed award.
