Jérémy Boulanger-Bonnelly wins best paper award
The Faculty of Law is delighted to announce that Professor Jérémy Boulanger-Bonnelly has won the Best Scholarly Paper award in the annual legal writing competition by the Fondation du Barreau du Québec. He was honoured for his article titled "" (McGill Law Journal, 2022).
Jérémy Boulanger-Bonnelly, BCL/LLB’15, has been an assistant professor at the McGill University Faculty of Law since 2023, following a stint as a Boulton Junior Fellow. His research focuses on access to justice in civil matters, using primarily comparative methods. His current projects focus, among other topics, on person-centred justice and on the role of public participation in improving access to justice.
Professor Boulanger-Bonnelly teaches the law of contractual obligations. In 2023, the Law Student Association awarded him the John W. Durnford Award for Teaching Excellence.
The Faculty also extends its congratulations to adjunct professor Ignacio Cofone, who received an honourable mention in the New Author category for his monograph (Cambridge University Press, 2023). Professor Cofone, who was a faculty member at McGill when he wrote and published the book, was recently appointed Professor of Law and Regulation of AI at the University of Oxford.
“I’m pleased to see such a strong McGill Law showing in the Fondation du Barreau du Québec’s annual competition”, said Dean Robert Leckey, Ad E. “These accolades highlight the vibrancy of the Faculty of Law’s intellectual community, where our scholars pursue ambitious, innovative, and humanistic legal research.”
