Over the past decade, Borrows has also taught an intensive course in Anishinaabe law and legal tradition, often bringing students to his People's Neyaashiinigmiing reserve to meet with Elders, Chiefs, colleagues and teachers and experience Indigenous law in context.</p> <p>Walders is Anishinaabe and his family is from Alderville First Nation. In addition to co-teaching a seminar in Aboriginal Law and Policy, Walders was recognized for making a significant impact through his role in the Kawaskimhon Aboriginal Law Moot, a consensus-based, non-adversarial moot that incorporates Indigenous legal traditions alongside federal, provincial and international law.</p> <h3><a href="https://www.law.utoronto.ca/news/john-borrows-and-david-walders-receive-trc-teaching-awards">Read the Faculty of Law story</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Law</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Mon, 22 Jul 2024 17:31:59 +0000 rahul.kalvapalle 308521 at
