Professor Kline died in 2001 after
a lengthy and determined struggle with leukemia. Her
work on feminist legal theory and critical race theory,
child welfare law and policy, law's continued colonialism,
and restructuring of the social welfare state is internationally
acclaimed.
The Centre for Feminist Legal Studies
is pleased to present the annual Marlee Kline Lecture
in Social Justice each Fall and to award the Marlee
Kline Essay Prize to a deserving student (or students)
each academic year. Marlee's library,
which contains many volumes on the intersection of class,
race and gender in the legal arena, is housed at the
Centre.
Marlee Kline Lecture
in Social Justice
The Marlee Kline Social Justice Lecture
honours the memory of Marlee Gayle Kline. This lectureship
not only recognizes Marlee's rich contribution to the
law school community but also reflects her belief in
the central role social justice concerns must play in
legal education and law.
