Outstanding student research paper contributes to timely women’s legal issues

November 27, 2024 — 
The proverb “the more things change, the more they stay the same” remains true today, even where the Internet is concerned. This year’s winning paper of the Muriel St. John Research Award for Women’s Legal Issues was written for a course titled Law, Technology and the Future, but dealt with the age-old issue of women being sexually exploited non-consensually. For the first time, the former law librarian’s award was presented to a law student identifying as male. Ms. St. John was delighted to present Chad Laferriere-Enns [JD/2024] with her award in-person at The Faculty of Law’s Student Achievement Awards Reception on October 29, 2024.
