Remembering Gordon Edward Kaiser

We invite you to support the Gordon Edward Kaiser Award in Law. Established in memory of Gordon Kaiser, this award will honour his legacy as a lawyer, economist, and public servant whose work deeply influenced the fields of law and economics.

About Gordon Edward Kaiser

Gordon dedicated his life to the intersection of law and economics. After earning his undergraduate degree in economics from the University of Toronto and his law and master’s degrees from Queen’s University, he pursued a remarkable career that spanned law practice, academia, and public service. Known for his work in regulatory law, particularly in energy and competition, Gordon was passionate about fairness, public interest, and the vital role of sound economic principles within the legal field. He taught at Queen’s Law and other Canadian institutions, authored and edited several influential books, and served as a mentor and inspiration to many.

Supporting Future Law Students

The purpose of the award is to support students enrolled in the Faculty of Law with preference given to students enrolled in the MA (Econ)/JD degree program who demonstrate both financial need and academic achievement. 

How You Can Help

Our goal is to raise $125,000 to endow the Gordon Edward Kaiser Award in Law, ensuring a lasting tribute to Gordon’s legacy and ongoing support for Queen’s Law students. Your donation will help provide annual awards that ease financial barriers and encourage excellence.
