News

The University of Toronto’s Faculty of Law has received an $80M donation from former Lieutenant Governor of Ontario Henry N R Jackman. The faculty—now named the Henry N R Jackman Faculty of Law in honour of Jackman—plans to use the donation for several initiatives, including the Jackman Scholarship Fund, a Dean’s Strategic Initiatives Fund, expanding the faculty’s Future of Law lab, and the creation of four new chairs. “[The donation] will expand support for our talented students, enable groundbreaking national and international collaborations, and create new chairs in pivotal fields of law, ultimately securing our place among the world’s best and most forward-thinking law schools,” said U of T Law Dean Jutta Brunnée.
