The Tort Law Research Group is pleased to announce that
Cohen Highley LLP is sponsoring its public lectures for the 2011-12 academic
year. Each year the Group brings at
least two high-profile speakers on tort law to Western to deliver a public
lecture aimed at law students, faculty members and the local legal community. In 2010-11, the Group’s inaugural year,
Professor Arthur Ripstein of the University of Toronto and Professor Lewis Klar
of the University of Alberta delivered public lectures. “We are very grateful for the sponsorship from Cohen
Highley,” said Professor Stephen Pitel, a member of the executive committee of
the Group. “It allows us to attract
speakers of the highest profile from both within Canada and abroad.” “We have confirmed two excellent speakers for the year
ahead,” said Professor Jason Neyers, another member of the executive
committee. “For the autumn we have Russell
Brown of the University of Alberta and for the spring we have Nicholas McBride
of the University of Cambridge.”
Professor Brown’s research interests include recovery for pure economic
loss, factual causation, governmental liability and the philosophy of tort law.
His torts scholarship has appeared in many
leading journals. Mr. McBride is the
co-author of a well-regarded English text on tort law. He is the James Campbell Fellow and Director
of Studies in Law at Pembroke College, Cambridge. Cohen
Highley LLP was founded in 1974 and has offices in London and Sarnia. It prides itself on a tradition of legal
excellence and its commitment to the community. It is also one of the sponsors of
