Lavery is pleased to announce that Mr. Jacques Perron, a Litigation partner at Lavery, acted as a mentor to a team made up of two Université de Montréal law students, Dominique Noel and Frédérik Forget, who won Droit de Cité’s grand finale that was held on May 30, 2013 during the Barreau du Québec Annual Congress. The winning team received a $5,0000 scholarship awarded by the Minister of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology, Mr. Pierre Duchesne.
Co-produced by the radio station CIBL 101,5, Juripop and the Barreau du Québec, Droit de Cité is a 30-episode radio broadcast series enabling young university or Cégep students to discuss major social issues within an open debate formula. Lavery is pleased to have taken part in an activity supported by the Barreau du Québec. Considering his long-standing teaching experience, Mr. Perron was the right choice to act as mentor.
