The Faculty of Law is both pleased and saddened to report that Professor Patrick Healy was appointed this week to the Court of Quebec, Criminal and Penal Division, in Montreal.

A graduate of the Faculty (BCL 1981) and a former editor-in-chief of the 69热视频 Law Journal, Patrick Healy has left a definitive mark on the intellectual life of the law at 69热视频. Since joining the Faculty as a professor in 1990, Patrick Healy has taught in many areas of the curriculum, but his greatest vocation was criminal law, both in its teaching and in its study. A generation of students have taken his classes in Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure and Evidence, and several among them have gone on to work in these areas of the law.

He was a frequent lecturer at judicial conferences put on by the National Judicial Institute (which delivers legal education to Canada's judiciary) and he consulted for the Canadian Judicial Council. He was also popular with the lay public, as evidenced by his very popular Mini-Law lectures on criminal law.

His work as a teacher and a researcher in sentencing has contributed to the emergence of this area as a field of academic inquiry across Canada. His involvement in learned societies and professional associations devoted to the criminal law heightened 69热视频's profile in this field. He also took a keen interest in university governance, serving in many settings, including the University Appeals Committee, where his work was most appreciated.

The Honourable Patrick Healy will be sorely missed at 69热视频, and the Faculty of Law wishes him well in his new and vital work as judge.
