Prizes, Honours and Awards

Over the years, members of the Faculty of Law have earned recognition for their outstanding contributions to education, the profession, legal scholarship and service to the community. Such awards from local, provincial, national and international organizations honour distinguished careers and underscore the reputation of the Faculty. The Research Office is available to assist in the preparation of nominations and supporting files when called upon to do so.

Below are listed several internal and external prizes, honours and awards that are regularly presented to outstanding candidates, usually on an annual basis. In most cases the Faculty may nominate one candidate to a particular prize, honour or award per year.

The Research Office strongly encourages all faculty members to review the criteria of specific prizes, honours and awards, and to communicate to the Vice-Dean Research or Research Facilitator at any time their personal suggestions for colleagues who would be deserving nominees.

Please be advised that the preparation of a complete and effective nomination will typically involve the work of several contributors and ordinarily requires a considerable length of time – at least six weeks in most cases.

The Archives of the University of Ottawa contain lists of various internal award recipients between 1964 and 2005.
