The media is cordially invited to attend.

In particular, the law firms of Paliare Roland Rosenberg Rothstein LLP and Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP, which have helped fund the internship program, will be recognized, as will the five Osgoode students who participated in this summer’s inaugural internship program. Ian Scott, who will be at the event, graduated from Osgoode in 1959 and received an honorary doctorate from the Law School in 1997. In his careers as a barrister, politician and legal educator, he set high standards of achievement with integrity and commitment. He argued many important constitutional cases and was renowned for outstanding advocacy and clarity of thought coupled with wit and humour. First elected as a Liberal MPP to the Ontario legislature in 1985, he represented the riding of St. George-St. David until his retirement from politics in 1990. He held key cabinet posts, including Attorney General and Minister Responsible for Native Affairs. As Attorney General, Scott spearheaded important reforms, including the introduction of the first public sector pay equity legislation in North America and the comprehensive reform of the Ontario court system. He led the government's initiative to amend the Ontario Human Rights Code to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and implemented a new process for provincial judicial appointments.
