JUSTICE MARC ROSENBERG '74 BURSARY
Marc Rosenberg was a gifted student who went on to become one of Canada’s finest criminal appellate lawyers. He was appointed Ontario's Assistant Deputy Attorney General for Civil Law in 1994 and shortly thereafter appointed directly to the Ontario Court of Appeal. He was a humble man, unfailingly kind and generous to all he encountered. This bursary was established by his friends and family as a tribute to career, humanity and his passion for justice.
The bursary will be given annually to up to two students in the JD program who have financial need and have demonstrated a commitment to social justice.
