This week, the Law Society of Ontario formally announced their selection of recipients for a number of annual honours, including the Law Society Medal. I am excited and deeply honoured to be among this group of highly distinguished legal professionals.
Here is a link to the official news release, as well as the Law Faculty notice.
The Law Society’s mini bio about me said:
Professor Carissima Mathen: Called to the Bar in 1994, Carissima Mathen has championed women’s equality, respect for the rule of law and public legal education throughout her career. From her work on ground-breaking sexual violence cases, to her constitutional scholarship and informative public commentary, she has become one of Canada’s leading legal voices.
The medal will be awarded at Osgoode Hall on May 23, 2018.
