Law professor Jasminka Kalajdzic and retired judge Mary Jo Nolan have been honoured by the Ontario Bar Association for their work to promote access to justice.

The Class Action Clinic at the UWindsor Faculty of Law has received a $3.1 million award from the recent settlement of a $100-million class action lawsuit.

“This award to the clinic is an important next step in Windsor Law’s rich history of upholding an access to justice mission for Canadians,” said dean Reem Bahdi. “The Class Action Clinic at Windsor Law is the first clinic of its kind in North America.”

The Class Actions Section of the Ontario Bar Association presented its inaugural Award for Excellence in Class Actions to Professor Jasminka Kalajdzic during its annual colloquium program earlier this month.

The Honourable Edward M. Morgan of the Superior Court of Justice recently approved the settlement of a securities class action lawsuit, and in doing so, approved an award of $90,000 to the Class Action Clinic at Windsor Law in left-over or ‘cy près’ funds.

The University of Windsor Alumni Association is bestowing its Alumni Award for Distinguished Contributions to University Teaching on four professors during Spring Convocation ceremonies.
