As a result of assigned royalties from Woolley, Devlin & Cotter, Lawyers’ Ethics and Professional Regulation, 4th ed (2021), CALE/ACEJ is pleased to continue the conference travel grant program that began in 2023. CALE/ACEJ thanks those who made this program possible.

Graduate students and post-doctoral fellows in the field of legal ethics and professionalism are eligible to apply for a travel grant towards the cost of attending the next annual CALE/ACEJ conference on October 22-24, 2026 hosted by the Lincoln Alexander School of Law at Toronto Metropolitan University. To qualify, an applicant must either be: (i) enrolled or based at a Canadian university; or (ii) a Canadian enrolled or based at a foreign university.

Applications are due by July 17, 2026 via email to Pooja Parmar, CALE/ACEJ’s Vice-President, at parmar@uvic.ca. Applicants must provide sufficient information to establish their eligibility and explain their financial need for the travel grant, including a travel budget. The Vice-President and the Treasurer will assess received applications by July 31, 2026.

Each recipient may receive a maximum of $500 per year, and the program has a cumulative maximum budget of $2000 per year. To receive their grant, each recipient must submit receipts for travel or accommodation expenses to the Treasurer totaling at least the amount awarded, and CALE/ACEJ will then accordingly pay the recipient during or after the conference.
