(University of British Columbia) 1995-97 LL.B. and B.C.L. (McGill University) 1988-92 B.A.(Hons), (University of Calgary) 1984-88 ResearchJaye Ellis studies legal responses to ecological risk, paying particular attention to inputs from the natural sciences and the processes of translation that are required when scientific knowledge is incorporated into law and policy. She studies both state and non-state regulatory initiatives at the international, transnational, and national levels, with particular attention to approaches such as goals and indicators, standards, and certification programmes. Current research projects include intersections among science, policy, law, and economics in the promulgation and implementation of certification projects such as those operated by the Marine and Forest Stewardship Councils.QCBS studentsPrevious students (since 2009) Caroline HaywoodM.Sc.
