HCLA Scholarship RecipientsThe HCLA is excited to announce the release of The Legalese – Summer 2023 edition! You can find this edition on the website under the tab, Legalese. This is the fifth edition of The Legalese since its relaunch in Spring 2020. The Legalese has a long tradition of serving as the HCLA’s newsletter.

Law Student Resume ReviewIn celebration of the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III, the Ontario government is returning to the tradition of recognizing Ontario lawyers with the honorary title of King’s Counsel. The King’s Counsel designation is given to lawyers who have demonstrated a commitment to the pursuit of legal excellence in service to the Crown, the public and their communities. Ontario rejoins many of its provincial counterparts and other Commonwealth jurisdictions in observing this practise. Congratulations to all recipients and in particular: Nancy Athanasia Krigas, Jeanie Theoharis and Eustachia Jeanne Triantafilopoulos!
