About the Stikeman Chair

The H. Heward Stikeman Chair in Tax Law, endowed in 2005, was created through the generous support of The Heward Stikeman Fiscal Institute and of friends of Heward Stikeman. The primary goals of the Chair are to foster scholarship contributing to fairer and simpler tax rules locally, nationally and globally, and to attract faculty committed to developing a comparative, integrated and dynamic approach to the teaching of the law of taxation. It was those aspirations that informed the career of H. Heward Stikeman, who practiced tax law for over 50 years with great distinction.
