Balfour Halévy, professor emeritus and retired law librarian at York, has received the 1999 Guthrie Award from the Law Foundation of Ontario.

Halévy retired last July after 32 years as law librarian at York's Osgoode Hall Law School.

"I was completely surprised and amazed to receive this award," said Halévy. "It was and is a great honour not only for me but for law librarians across the country who don't often receive public recognition for the work they do." He was not aware ahead of time that his name had been submitted for the award. He said his supervisors and staff managed to keep his nomination secret until his win was announced in December.
