In his report, President Stephen Pitel outlined CALE/ACEJ’s activities over the past year, including: continuing its Travel Grant Program to support graduate students and post-doctoral fellows attending the conference; partnering with the CBA and FLSC for the 2025 Ethics Forum; and submissions to the Equity and Indigenous Affairs Committee of the Law Society of Ontario about a proposed Indigenous Cultural Training Course.
