About Stephen Jarrett

I received my BA from York University and my law degree from the University of Windsor. Between 1977 and 2001 I practiced law in London, with an emphasis on civil litigation and education law.Since 2002 I have been Legal Counsel at the University of Western Ontario, advising the University on a broad range of issues, including litigation, governance, student affairs and corporate finance. I have been a lecturer at Fanshawe College and Western’s Law School and an instructor in Civil Litigation at the Law Society of Upper Canada’s Bar Admission Course. I am a member of the Canadian Association of University Solicitors and the National Association of College and University Attorneys and have presented papers at the annual conferences of both those organizations. I have served on the Advisory Board of the Canadian University Reciprocal Insurance Exchange. I am a frequent contributor on legal issues to the University Manager, the magazine of the Canadian Association of University Business Officers. Most recently I was a subject matter expert for the development of CAUBO’s on line course on Understanding the University Context, Culture and Governance for Effective Administration.
