Mandate
The Nunavut Law Foundation is a non-profit foundation created by the Legal Professions Act to manage a fund to support important law-related projects and initiatives in Nunavut. The moneys received by the Foundation come from lawyers practicing in Nunavut, either from the interest earned on monies held in lawyers’ trust accounts or from fees from lawyers who don’t have trust accounts. The Foundation is governed by a five member Board of Directors, four of whom are lawyers with one member of the public.

The Nunavut Law Foundation will be awarding $500 scholarships to high school students and youths in each region across Nunavut in honour of Justice Browne, who was the first senior judge in the Nunavut Court of Justice.
