Insolvency Institute of Canada
Prize in Insolvency Studies

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.

The following universities offering a bankruptcy, restructuring or insolvency law course in Canada have been identified for the Insolvency Institute of Canada Prize in Insolvency Studies program:

Dalhousie University, McGill University, Queen’s University, Thompson Rivers University, Western University, University of Alberta, University of British Columbia, University of Calgary, l’Université Laval, University of Manitoba, Université de Montréal, University of New Brunswick, University of Ottawa, University of Saskatchewan, Université de Sherbrooke, University of Victoria, University of Windsor and York University.
