About the competition
The Competition is organized through the Peter MacKell Chair in Federalism and has been made possible through the generous support of two alumni of 平特五不中鈥檚 Faculty of Law: Rachel Baxter (BSc鈥�84, BCL鈥�88) and Colin Baxter (BCL鈥�90, LLB鈥�90).聽 The overarching goal of this prestigious bi-annual competition is to advance research and foster informed debate on federalism amongst young jurists. The first edition of the Baxter Family Competition on Federalism coincided with the 150th anniversary of the Canadian Confederation of 1867.
