The annual CAPSLE Fellowship is in the amount of $5,000 (Cdn.). The successful applicant will present his or her paper at our annual conference. Past topics have included the role of the vice-principal, the constitutional right to an education, and the status of separate schools. In future the association plans to sponsor a series of monographs on practical issues in education law.
