This May, U of T Law graduate Jim Ware (LLB 1968) will be inducted as a builder to the University of Toronto Sports Hall of Fame.

As founding president of the ‘Friends of Football’, Ware played a pivotal role as leader of the alumni group that helped save the Varsity Blues football program in the early 1990's.

It is with immense sadness that the Faculty of Law announces the passing of Professor Emeritus Edmund Alexander.

After briefly teaching in Ottawa, he returned to Toronto and spent 25 years teaching at the Faculty of Law. He was a passionate and dedicated professor, leaving a legacy of kindness and generosity to students and colleagues alike.

Natalie Jenner is the author of the internationally bestselling novels The Jane Austen Society and Bloomsbury Girls, which have been translated into more than twenty languages worldwide. Her third novel, Every Time We Say Goodbye, releases in May 2024 and her fourth novel, Austen at Sea, is slated for a spring 2025 release.
