The UBC team of Ryan Anderson and Jesse Nyman (both second year) won the cup at the Mathews Dinsdale & Clark Canadian Labour Arbitration Competition held in Toronto last weekend. Dalhousie and UBC faced off for the final, before a panel chaired by John Laskin of the Ontario Court of Appeal. Our students won scholarships toward third year law tuition. The other schools in the competition were Toronto, Osgoode, Queens, Alberta, Ottawa and Western.

Professor Emeritis Jim MacIntyre served as the team's faculty advisor and provided crucial support. A number of downtown lawyers and arbitrators also provided valuable assistance to the team by participating in practice sessions.

Please congratulate these students and their faculty advisor.
