BEVERLY JACOBS

Assistant Professor

Windsor Law welcomes Assistant Professor Beverly Jacobs to the Faculty this fall. She is a lawyer and specialist in issues relating to the rights of Indigenous peoples, specifically, the rights of Indigenous women and girls.

Two longtime faculty members, Professor Maureen Irish and Professor Marcia Valiante, announced their retirement this spring.

Professors Irish and Valiante have been pillars at Windsor Law for many years teaching hundreds of students over the duration of their academic careers.

Thanks to video conferencing technology and a unique collaboration between Windsor Law’s Professor Jasminka Kalajdzic, Stanford Law’s Deborah Hensler, and Tilburg University’s Ianika Tzankova, Windsor Law students had the opportunity to learn about class action regimes in Canada, the U.S., the Netherlands and Germany, and to engage with students in each jurisdiction — all without leaving Windsor.

The Windsor Law community mourns the passing of retired law teacher and mentor the Honourable Justice Saul Nosanchuk.

For 30 years, Justice Nosanchuk, shared his experience and expertise with Windsor Law students as a sessional professor and mentor, teaching Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure.

Saul was a criminal law expert and one of Windsor's leading criminal defence attorneys before becoming a judge and serving with distinction on the Ontario Court of Justice for 27 years.
