鈥淲e are tremendously grateful to Fasken Martineau for leading the way in supporting our best and brightest students,鈥� said Dean of Law Nicholas Kasirer. 鈥淕iven the number of our graduates that go on to build wonderful careers with Fasken Martineau, this gift is an incredible acknowledgement to the role that education plays in shaping the legal community as a whole.鈥�

The Excellence Fund is comprised of three components, all of which are Faculty of Law and University priorities:
