BISC Law Class

Jeremy Freedman wants Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s to know more about Israel. And Israel to know more about Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ and Canada. That카지노 게임 컬렉션™s the impulse behind his recent donation, underwriting a three-year joint endeavour between Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s Faculty of Law and the Buchmann Faculty of Law at Tel Aviv 카지노게임사이트.

The gift, from the Jeremy and Judith Freedman Family Foundation, will subsidize a number of initiatives. A faculty member from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s will be invited to teach a short, intensive course at Tel Aviv 카지노게임사이트, and a faculty member from Tel Aviv will be given a similar opportunity at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s.

Freedman카지노 게임 컬렉션™s generous donation will also underwrite an annual Bora Laskin Lecture, to be given by the visiting Tel Aviv faculty member, or another prominent Israeli scholar, and open to the broader Kingston community.

In its third year, Freedman카지노 게임 컬렉션™s donation will underwrite a conference, "Constitutional Culture 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ Israel and Canada," which builds on Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s and Tel Aviv카지노 게임 컬렉션™s particular strengths in the areas of public and comparative law.

"Maybe it was the current Initiative Campaign," says Freedman of his inspiration for giving, "but I had been thinking about this for some time. I wanted to do something with Queen's, and something related to Israel and Jewish causes. In talking to the dean, I said: 'Think outside the box. What would be helpful?' This is what came forward."

"One of the things I wanted to do through this program was educate the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s community about the similarities between Canada and Israel," says Freedman.

"Israel subscribes to the same values we do 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ freedom of speech, an independent judiciary, equality of rights, and democratic elections 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ these are fundamental principles that we share.

"I thought that some kind of exchange and education program that would compare and contrast our two systems would be helpful to both countries."
