Professor Ian Kerr passed away on August 27, 2019 due to complications arising from cancer.  He was only 54 years old.

The University of Ottawa Faculty of Law recognizes that it is on Algonquin land in a territory where Algonquin legal orders have operated for millennia, and continue to do so today. As a Faculty we are committed to education that is multi-juridical including Indigenous laws and legal orders, common law, and civil laws. We provide space for all students to learn, interrogate and critique all law in a professional, ethical and respectful way. 

Dean Dodek announced the appointment of Vivek Krishnamurthy as the inaugural Samuelson-Glushko Professor of Law and new Director of the Samuelson-Glushko Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC).
