The Honourable Mr. Justice Ian Binnie of the Supreme Court of Canada will deliver the 2011-12 Coxford Lecture on Thursday, February 16, 2012.

Justice Binnie, the senior puisne judge, recently announced his retirement from the Court.

“Justice Binnie has made an enormous contribution to Canadian law and it is an honour to have him deliver this year’s Coxford Lecture,” says Professor Grant Huscroft.

Stephen Coxford ‘77, Vice-Chair of Western’s Board of Governors, endowed the Coxford Lecture, Western Law’s leading annual public law lecture. The prestigious lecture series brings international scholars to Western Law to address important public law questions, in order to promote and advance the rule of law.

Previous speakers in the Coxford Lecture series include Larry Alexander, of the University of San Diego, Professor Jeremy Waldron of New York University and Oxford University, and Professor Jeffrey Goldsworthy of Monash University.

The lectures are published annually in the Canadian Journal of Law and Jurisprudence.
