Robert Leckey and Lara Khoury win at the Concours juridique 2007

Published: 19 December 2007

Assistant professors Lara Khoury and Robert Leckey have won in two of the three categories offered this year by the Concours juridique of the Fondation du Barreau du Québec.

won in the "Monograph" category for her book Uncertain Causation in Medical Liability, published by Yvon Blais in 2006. Her book, which also earned her the 2004 Prix Minerve, examines from a comparative perspective how courts of England, Canada (common law), Australia, France and Quebec confront evidentiary causal difficulties caused by scientific uncertainty in medical malpractice cases.

won in the "Manuscript of a legal article" category for his text "Prescribed by Law/Une règle de droit." His article, published in the Osgoode Hall Law Journal this fall, takes disagreement over the French and English versions of the Canadian Charter as a point of departure for reflections on the place of the French language and a distinctively Québécois legal culture in Canadian public law.

The Faculty of Law warmly congratulates them both for this well-deserved success.
