À propos des conférences commémoratives Charles D. Gonthier

(En anglais seulement) As those who had the privilege to know him are aware, judicial integrity, responsibility and fraternity were important values to the Honourable Judge Charles D. Gonthier (1928-2009), and he supported research, education and practical activities to promote sustainable development, in its economic, environmental and social dimensions. The legacy of values he embraced is kept alive through the Gonthier Endowment Fund established in his name, to support a new series of biennial Lectures.

You are invited to join a select group of justices, deans, leaders, jurists and others from across Canada and the world, eager to broaden their minds on emerging law, justice and sustainability concerns, at the inaugural Charles D Gonthier Memorial Lecture.

La conférence sera précédée par une réception à 17h à la Faculté de droit de McGill, et sera suivie d'un Banquet à 19h30 au Cercle universitaire de McGill.
