In what is going to be a remarkably interesting case involving a new law school and a student who is suing them for $750,000 in a human rights complaint, we are going to find out if there is any consequence when a law school profits off using a student’s name, image, and likeness to promote the school.

The story began back in 2018. I had just written about Toronto’s Ryerson University and their desire to open a law school. The city already has two law schools — the extremely expensive Osgoode Hall and the truly insanely expensive University of Toronto Faculty of Law. These are arguably the two most elite and prestigious law schools in the nation, so why would another university even consider opening another law school?
