The Yves Pratte Scholarship The Yves Pratte Foundation has been established in memory of Yves Pratte, a renowned jurist, lawyer, professor, Dean of the Facult de droit, l'Universit Laval, Chairman of Air Canada and Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada. The scholarship will be awarded to permit the students to attend the other university's faculty for the fall term of that student's third year. While the term will be spent at the other faculty, students will earn course credits towards their degree at the home faculty. In addition to the scholarship, the winners of the awards will work during the summer preceding their attendance at the other university at the offices of McCarthy T trault in Toronto in the case of the Laval winner and in either the Montreal or Quebec City offices of McCarthy T trault in the case of the Toronto winner. The scholarship is intended for students with strong academic records and an interest in Canada's bilingual and bicultural traditions.
Bilingualism is an essential qualification.
Further information is available from the office of the Assistant Dean. The Programme affords law students enrolled at the Faculty the opportunity to gain exposure to both private legal practice and public interest legal activity during the summer following their second year of law school. Students who are selected for the Programme spend half of the summer at a sponsoring law firm and the other half at a public interest organization of their choice. Further information about the Programme is available from Ms. Bonnie Goldberg, Director of Career Development. Pro Bono Students Canada is a voluntary co-operative program that enables students to gain exposure to pro bono public service work during the academic year.
