The 2018-19 OBA Foundation Chief Justice of Ontario Fellowship in Research has been awarded to Professor Andrew Martin of the Peter A. Allard School of Law at the University of British Columbia.

Professor Martin’s research project will target the duty to report a fellow lawyer to the law society under rule 7.1-3 of the Federation of Law Societies of Canada’s Model Code of Professional Conduct, with a special focus on the reporting of lawyers with mental health issues or addictions.

The OBA Foundation, the charitable arm of the Ontario Bar Association, administers and funds the fellowships.  The Fellowship in Research is a grant of $15,000, awarded annually to full-time teachers at a Canadian university or college.
