Nominations are once again open for CALE/ACEJ’s two annual awards, with a due date of August 7, 2026.

The two awards are:

• the CALE/ACEJ Best Paper Award, which recognizes the best legal ethics and professionalism paper by an emerging scholar; and
• the CALE/ACEJ Lifetime Achievement Award, which recognizes sustained accomplishments in legal ethics and professionalism.

Information about the awards, including previous winners and the awards’ terms, is available at https://ethicsincanada.com/cale-awards/. This year’s selection committee is Amy Salyzyn (chair), Andrew Bernstein and Pooja Parmar, and the awards will be presented during CALE/ACEJ’s next annual conference on October 22-24, 2026.

For Best Paper nominations, submit an anonymized version of the paper to basil.alexander@torontomu.ca (can be your or someone else’s paper) by August 7, 2026. While we cannot ensure full blind review given the nature and size of the community, we will do the best we can.

For Lifetime Achievement nominations, complete and submit the nomination form (available on request from Basil Alexander, CALE/ACEJ’s Corporate Secretary) and the required supporting letter(s) to basil.alexander@torontomu.ca by August 7, 2026. The form and the supporting letter(s) may be submitted separately.

If you have questions about the awards, please contact Basil Alexander.
