CALL 24/7Greg Monforton recently received the University of Windsor Faculty of Law’s Builders of Windsor Law Award. Rather than let the moment pass quietly, he wanted to share a personal thank you directly with the school that shaped his career.
Here is Greg’s message, in his own words:
“Hello. My name is Greg Monforton, and I’m a partner in the Windsor, Ontario law firm of Greg Monforton and Partners, and a proud member of the Windsor Law class of 1979.
I’m holding a beautiful award I recently received from Windsor Law, called the Builders of Windsor Law Award. I really can’t overstate how honoured I am to be receiving this award.
When any of us look back, we can usually identify a small handful of decisions we made that really had a major impact on the quality of our lives. In my case, one was deciding to apply to Windsor Law School, and the other was the good fortune of having been accepted.
Windsor Law has been my pathway to a hugely gratifying career, a career in which I’ve hopefully made a positive difference in the lives of both the clients I’ve been privileged to serve, and the community, province, and country in which I live.
You know, when you think about it, the students attending Windsor Law now will be impacting the world, both locally and beyond, literally for the next twenty to thirty-plus years. Think 2060. But as unpredictable and volatile as our world seems to currently be, Windsor Law’s graduates will make it less so. Because our law schools, and Windsor Law, my law school, is an indispensable element of the legal, political, and economic infrastructure of this amazing city, province, country, and beyond.
So, thank you again for this wonderful honour. I will cherish it for the rest of my life.”
A Career Rooted in Windsor Law
This award is more than a personal achievement for Greg. It’s a celebration of the mentors, colleagues, clients, and community members who have been part of his journey since he first applied to Windsor Law nearly five decades ago.
Windsor Law selected Greg for the Builders of Windsor Law Award earlier this year, following a unanimous decision by the school’s selection committee that recognised his decades of mentorship, guest lecturing, and support for Windsor Law graduates.
