Lecture Topic:

What happens when countries go toe-to-toe over contract disputes? Whose law prevails and who declares the winner? An internationally recognized legal arbitrator, L. Yves Fortier, BCL’58, LLD’05, has settled more fights than an NHL referee. Don’t miss your chance to hear him share experiences from his career on the world stage during the Annual General Meeting of the Toronto Alumni Association.
