Long Citation
John McCamus is one of the world's leading scholars in the law of restitution; he is an influential contributor of applied scholarship and policy research which has shaped many projects of public and private law reform; and he is an inspiring and innovative leader in legal education, research and reform. Progressive instincts, leadership skills, and concern for the development of one's colleagues and students are rarely combined with academic distinction and consistently high productivity; but John McCamus is rara avis. His election celebrates not only his immense scholarly contribution and reputation but as well his principled commitment to applying scholarship for the general good.
