Brody Olafson, a first-year law student at the University of Saskatchewan College of Law, has been awarded the 2025 MLT Aikins LLP Scholarship in Law in the amount of $7,500. Erin Eccleston, chair of the firm's student recruiting committee, presented the award.
"We are proud to support the University of Saskatchewan College of Law and its students," said Aaron Runge, managing partner at MLT Aikins, in a statement earlier this year. "We have a long history with the USask College of Law, with one-third of our partners being graduates of the law school. By investing in the education of law students, we are not only helping them succeed, but we are also contributing to the continued growth and vitality of the legal community in Saskatchewan and Western Canada more broadly."
The scholarship, which has been awarded to first-year students for decades, is based on outstanding academic accomplishment by an entering student likely to achieve excellence in the study of law.
"For more than 40 years, MLT Aikins has been a valued and long-standing partner of the College of Law," said Martin Phillipson, dean of the college, in a March statement. "The firm's continued support will help ensure that our future legal professionals... have the financial resources they need to excel in their studies and make meaningful contributions to the profession and their communities."
Please join us in extending sincere congratulations to Brody on this achievement!
