The Osgoode Hall Law School Teaching Awards are intended to honour those instructors who, through innovation and commitment, have significantly enhanced the quality of learning at Osgoode. The purpose of the awards is to provide significant recognition for excellence in teaching, to encourage its pursuit, to publicize such excellence, and to promote informed discussion of teaching and its improvement.
Nominations for these awards come from students and faculty. Each nomination is accompanied by a statement setting out how and why the faculty member has met the criteria of teaching excellence in the current academic year. Recipients are selected by a committee.
