The Eric Hoaken Memorial Bursary in Law

Donor Story:

Eric Hoaken was a proud graduate of Queen’s University (LLB 1992, BA (Hons) 1988). 

After being called to the Bar in 1994, he swiftly established himself as a top litigation lawyer in Toronto and a leader in the community. During his 25 years of practice, Eric became a mentor and supporter to a countless number of lawyers he worked with, appeared against and met during his work.  Eric had a wonderful laugh and ever present smile that shone brightest when he was with his wife Lisa and his wonderful children Greta, Miles, Thea and Celia. He will be greatly missed.
