“There is no legal perspective on a serial killer. It’s a criminological or social science concept,” said Osgoode Hall Law School Professor Alan Young in the Hamilton Spectator April 11. “A serial killer goes through a pattern of killing and respite and is fuelled by certain triggers. It seems to become almost an involuntary response in an episodic fashion.” Young said it was too early to say whether the deaths of Tim Bosma, Laura Babcock and Wayne Millard were indicative of serial murders. .

Legal Leaders for Diversity, a collective of general counsel in Canada committed to diversity in the workplace, launched a mentorship program with 91ɫ’s Osgoode Hall Law School in October 2012. “This mentoring program complements a number of other programs through which our students experience the in-house world and helps them to determine if this might be a career path they wish to pursue,” said Osgoode Dean Lorne Sossin in National magazine April 11. .
