Kathy Grant, a UBC law student, has won the Department of Justice/CBA National Law School Essay Contest.

Her winning essay examines the changes to s. 37 and s. 38 of the Canada Evidence Act as amended by the Anti-Terrorism Act. “Ms. Grant’s essay is a thought-provoking analysis of the federal government’s Anti-Terrorism Act and its impact on the rights of the accused,” says Professor John McEvoy, a member of the judging panel.

Ms. Grant receives a trophy and $500 and an abstract of her essay will be published on the Department of Justice and CBA Web sites.

The essay contest was founded in 2002 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Charter and is open to law school students across Canada.
