Congratulations Jessica!
Jessica Orkin is one of the 2023 Arbor Award recipients. She received the award at a ceremony last night.
The Arbor Award honours the contributions of exceptional and longstanding volunteers to the University of Toronto. It is the highest honour granted by the University to volunteers, and is given for sustained contributions to specific academic units, such as faculties, colleges or institutes, or for broader contributions to the University at large.
The University described Jessica’s contribution as follows:
Over the past three years, Jessica has provided pro bono counsel to the Faculty of Law’s David Asper Centre for Constitutional Rights and served as Constitutional Litigator-in-Residence at the Asper Centre in the fall of 2022. Her many hours of support, counsel and guidance have been instrumental to the work of the Asper Centre and its students.
Congratulations Jessica on receiving this honour!
