The 2024-2025 Prize in Insolvency Studies
The IIC is proud to announce that the IIC Prize in Insolvency Studies will be awarded again for the 2023-2024 academic year. This is the 6th year the IIC has provided the award at 17 universities across Canada. Individual universities are responsible for dissemination of all prize monies.
The prize is awarded to the students
with the top grade in the bankruptcy, restructuring or insolvency law course at
faculties of law across Canada.
The top students in the course will receive a $1,000 prize along with invaluable networking opportunities with the top practitioners in Canada. In addition, both the student winners and their universities will be recognized. This includes:
An invitation extended for winners to connect with an IIC member from their region or a firm of their interest.
Student and university recognition on the IIC website and on social media platforms.
Recognition at the IIC Annual General Meeting.
The IIC is looking to work closely with the universities, law faculty deans, and course professors to promote the scholarship and encourage student participation to build awareness of the insolvency and restructuring profession in Canada and the role of the IIC. To that end, the IIC will be reaching out to the designated universities for assistance in identifying these key contacts.
