Four awards generously established by Henry Ka-Shi Ho, JD’77, honour the achievements of three of his professors and a former Dean.
“My life in Canada and in Hong Kong, have led me to realize the exceptional high academic excellence of the Western Law Faculty, which deserves our respect,” said Ho.
The David L. Johnston Award in Corporate Law was established by a generous gift from Ho in honour of David L. Johnston, Dean of Western’s Faculty of Law from 1974-1979.
It is awarded annually to a full-time student completing first year in the Faculty of Law, who has attained the highest standing in Corporate Law.
In previous years Ho has also established the following awards:
