We would like to welcome Gail Henderson, as an assistant professor, to the University of Alberta's Faculty of Law. Arriving in January, 2013, Gail will be teaching Corporations Law in the Winter Term.
Gail is in her third and final year of the Doctor of Juridical Science program at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Law, where she also completed a Master of Laws in 2009. After graduating from Osgoode Hall Law School as Gold Medalist in 2005, she served as a law clerk to the Honourable Madame Justice Louise Charron at the Supreme Court of Canada. Gail was called to the bar of Ontario in 2006 and practiced commercial litigation and environmental law for two years at Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP in Toronto.
Gail's research focuses on the extent to which the existing corporate governance framework hinders greater corporate environmental responsibility and how this framework might be adjusted to further the goal of sustainable development. Gail has presented her research at international conferences in Oslo and Berlin and her article "Rawls & Sustainable Development" was published last year in the McGill International Journal of Sustainable Development Law & Policy.
We look forward to welcoming Gail Henderson into the Faculty of Law family in January, 2013.
