It was not by happenstance that David Johnston, Law ‘66, LLD ‘91, now the 28th Governor General of Canada, showed up on the Queen’s Law campus in the fall of 1965. Here he developed the philosophy of law he has pursued throughout his distinguished career. 
Ian Peach, Law ‘89, LLM ‘09, an expert in constitutional and Aboriginal law, with solid experience in federalism and intergovernmental relations, began his term as Dean of Law at the University of New Brunswick on August 1.
