Notwithstanding the above, the awards committee may in exceptional circumstances, in their discretion, grant an award to a non-resident of Alberta.

    What schools and programs are eligible?

    Awards can be used at any public university, college, or technical institute in Alberta, as well at any private institution or vocational school accredited by Alberta Learning Information Service .

    The Blackburns

    Lucie and Thornton Blackburn founded the first taxi company in Toronto in the 1830s. Their successful business enterprise was all the more notable in that the Blackburns were also involved in a number of other "firsts". The Blackburns' inspiring story included sparking the first racial uprising in Detroit history and the first serious legal dispute between Canada and the United Sates regarding the Underground Railroad.

    In 1831 Lucie and Thornton Blackburn made a daring escape from slave markets in Louisville, Kentucky. They fled north only to be discovered by slave catchers in Michigan, and were destined to be returned to slavery in Kentucky until the local black community in Detroit rallied to their cause sparking the Blackburn Riots of 1833.

    Escaping custody, the couple fled to freedom in Canada. In June 1833, Michigan's governor demanded their extradition. An impassioned and successful defence of the Blackburns by Upper Canada's Lieutenant Governor set precedent for future fugitive slave cases in Canada.

    The tale of the Blackburns was lost to history until a chance archaeological discovery in a downtown Toronto school yard again brought the story of Lucie and Thornton Blackburn to light. Their story is recorded in "I've Got A Home In Glory Land", a Governor General's Award winning book written by Karolyn Smardz Frost. As noted in the book, Fasken Martineau acted as legal counsel to the Blackburns.

The ILRP invites Canadian and foreign students who are enrolling or are currently enrolled in SJD or PhD in Law studies at a Canadian university faculty of law to apply for the CIGI ILRP Doctoral Scholarship. Introduction to the International Law Program at CIGI

    We are the Centre for International Governance Innovation: an independent, non-partisan think tank with an objective and uniquely global perspective. Our research, opinions and public voice make a difference in today's world by bringing clarity and innovative thinking to global policy making. By working across disciplines and in partnership with the best peers and experts, we are the benchmark for influential research and trusted analysis. The ILRP is a $60-million, ten-year, multi-disciplinary international law research program located at the award- winning CIGI Campus in Waterloo, Ontario, proximate to the Balsillie School of International Affairs.

    The ILRP strives to be the world's leading international law think tank on international governance, with recognized impact on how international law is brought to bear on significant global issues. Our mission is to seek to connect knowledge, policy and practice to build the international law framework - the globalized rule of law - to support international governance of the future. Our founding belief is that better international governance including a strengthened international law framework can improve the lives of people everywhere, increase prosperity, ensure global sustainability, address inequality and safeguard human rights, and promote a more secure world.

    The ILRP's areas of research focus

    The ILRP Doctoral Scholarship is designed to enhance research opportunities for SJD and PhD in Law students who wish to develop expertise in one or more of the ILRP's areas of research focus and to develop world-class intellectual strength in the areas of international law that are most important to global innovation, prosperity, sustainability and security.

    Value of Doctoral Scholarship

    The value of the Doctoral Scholarship is up to $56,000 CAD. $24,000 CAD is paid in three instalments of $8,000 CAD in the first year. A doctoral student who has already been awarded a CIGI ILRP doctoral scholarship may apply for renewal in a subsequent year (for a maximum of two additional years) by submitting a summary renewal application. $16,000 CAD is paid per year, in two instalments of $8,000 CAD for years 2 and 3 of the doctoral scholarship. The value, duration and conditions for each scholarship will be detailed in the letter of offer provided to the successful applicant.

    Residence

    Doctoral Scholarship students are required to spend a four-month period of residency at the CIGI Campus within year 1 of the scholarship. There is no residency requirement for years 2 and 3 of the scholarship. The residency requirement provides SJD/PhD in Law students an opportunity to pursue their academic research in a think-tank environment where experienced researchers and senior fellows are studying related issues of international law and to participate actively in relevant CIGI and ILRP scholarly and professional activities. During the residency period, all scholarship students will present their research to the ILRP team for feedback and guidance. Each scholarship student is expected to prepare a CIGI opinion piece related to their research for publication by CIGI. There may be opportunities for scholarship students to publish commentaries on CIGIonline.org. Where logistics permit, scholarship students will have opportunities to participate in workshops and conferences organized by the ILRP that are relevant to their research.

    The residency element is flexible and can be adapted to complement the particular doctoral program and doctoral student's research needs. A doctoral student may stay longer than four months if space permits and the student's academic supervisor agrees.

    During the period of residency each scholarship student will be provided work and study space as well as access to our library and related research resources. Each student must provide their own computer; internet and e-mail access will be provided.

    Should the need arise, CIGI will provide guidance to students who require assistance finding suitable accommodation for the duration of their period of residency at the CIGI Campus.

    Students must obtain adequate medical insurance during their stay at CIGI if relocating from outside the Province of Ontario. Students from Canadian provinces other than Ontario may be eligible for the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP), the government-run health insurance plan in place within the Province of Ontario.

We strive to provide an inclusive, supportive and collaborative professional environment that nurtures a collective force of unique talents.

    By embracing difference, not only do we offer a better work environment for our people, but we deliver better solutions to our clients. The solutions that emerge from diverse teams and perspectives have proven to be the most creative and innovative.

    Osler recognizes that diversity must be actively supported through an array of internal and external initiatives. That’s why we established our Diversity Scholarship Program in 2018. This program will provide up to two $2,500 scholarships each year to law students who, like us, seek to promote diversity and inclusion. We created this scholarship program to ensure that law students are recognized and celebrated for their efforts to promote diversity and inclusion within their law school, their community or the legal profession.

    We invite potential applicants to learn about the accomplishments of our most recent scholarship winners.

    • Be a full-time second-year law student studying at a Canadian law school; and
    • Not be an immediate family member of either an Osler or Carthos Services employee.

    Please note that applicants do not have to be members of an equity-seeking group. All students seeking to promote diversity and inclusion are encouraged to apply.

    Selection criteria

    Osler seeks to recognize two students who exemplify:

    • A demonstrated commitment to being a diversity leader within either their law school, the legal profession or the broader non-law community.

    We are interested in compelling stories about your diversity leadership experience in either legal or non-legal contexts. Please don’t feel that you need to focus on initiatives undertaken at your law school if you have an even more compelling story to share about diversity and inclusion work you did in the neighbourhood where you grew up, in a previous workplace, for a charity where you volunteer, etc.

    Essay question

    Freedom Revisited: Which aspects of freedom need to be defended, or recalibrated, to meet the challenges of our time?

    Domestically and on the international stage, values of individual, economic, and political freedom are subject to critical inquiry or outright attack. Diverse phenomena such as populism, global power shifts, climate change, the digital revolution, and global migration call for a reflection on the value of freedom for the way we live, do business, and organize politically in the years ahead. While some call for a defence of established freedoms, others call for recalibration of our concept of freedom, or the balance we strike between freedom and other values, such as equality, sustainability, and security. Where do you stand in this debate? Choose one of the following positions as you develop your essay:

    In defence of freedom: Choose an area in the realm of business, economics, politics, or civil society where current concepts of freedom are under pressure and where they need to be defended. Describe the problem and offer a concrete and practical proposition of how established concepts of freedom should - and can be - defended. Describe its impact for the future.

    In defence of recalibrating freedom: Choose an area in the realms of business, economics, politics or civil society where current concepts of freedom are unsuitable for the challenges we face and where they need to be recalibrated. Describe the problem and offer a concrete and practical proposition of how established concepts of freedom should and can be recalibrated. Describe its impact for the future.
