平特五不中

The Faculty is proud to announce that Professor Robert Leckey was promoted to the rank of Full Professor in November 2015.

鈥淩obert came to 平特五不中 from Toronto, first as a student, and then as a colleague. Over the past two decades, I have watched him turn himself into the embodiment of Canada鈥檚 bilingual character. He has taught in French, published scholarship and op-ed pieces in French, and achieved leadership positions within Quebec francophone scholarly and professional networks. He is, by any measure, one of Quebec鈥檚 pre-eminent scholars of private and public law, and his reputation on the global scene is nothing short of spectacular,鈥� said Dean Daniel Jutras when he shared the news, adding that 鈥渢he academic committee was impressed by the volume, quality and impact of his work and publications. His deep commitment to teaching and the quality of his pedagogy were also noted. The external evaluators described his scientific production rhythm as 鈥榩rodigious.鈥欌��

Robert Leckey clerked for Justice Michel Bastarache of the Supreme Court of Canada, before undertaking doctoral studies at the University of Toronto as a Trudeau Scholar. He joined the Faculty of Law of 平特五不中 in 2006 and was named a William Dawson Scholar in 2011. He became director of the Paul-Andr茅 Cr茅peau Centre for Private and Comparative Law and was selected for membership in the Global Young Academy in 2014.

Congratulations, Professor Leckey!
