Canadian Applicants
The late Dr. Harold G. Fox, Q.C. had a high regard for the training received by the newly called
barristers at the Inns of Court in London, England. This training, called pupillage, involves those
so called being assigned to a set of Barristers' Chambers for a period of a Court year.
The Trustees reserve the right to decide the number of scholarships to be awarded; however, the maximum number of scholarships will not exceed two. Each scholarship is tenable for pupillage in Chambers.
Each scholarship is in the amount of $50,000 together with reasonable travelling expenses to and from London.
The Trustees have been advised that a Scholar who goes to England under this programme and then returns may be regarded as having continued to be a Canadian resident while abroad and thus may be subject to tax on the scholarship.
The duration of each scholarship is from September 1, 2012 to July 31, 2013.
Qualifications
The qualifications are:
- call to the Ontario Bar in 2012
- a determination, and an undertaking, to pursue a career in litigation in Ontario upon completion of the studies afforded by the Scholarship
- good academic standing is essential but election to a scholarship is not based on academic attainments alone

Those interested should apply to the address below together with:
- a curriculum vitae - typed (not more than two pages)
- official Law School transcript (or photocopy)
- a covering letter
