The Law Foundation of British Columbia has established a fund of $120,000 per year to support legal research in British Columbia. The purpose of the fund is to support legal research projects that “advance the knowledge of law, social policy, and the administration of justice.”
The Fund is open to: members of Law Faculties at Thompson Rivers University, the University of British Columbia and the University of Victoria, as long as the application is submitted through their Dean; members of other faculties in British Columbia, as long as the research is law-related and the application is submitted through their Dean; members of the legal profession in British Columbia who can demonstrate that they have the background, interests and capacity to carry out the proposed project; and non-profit organizations with expertise in carrying out legal research.
The maximum amount available for each project is $20,000.
For more details on who may apply and the type of research eligible, see the Law Foundation website.
The deadline for applications is September 6, 2019.
