Abstract
McMurtry Visiting Clinical Fellowship Another First in Experiential Education at Osgoode Hall Law School\nTORONTO, September 17, 2012 – Lorne Sossin, Dean of York University’s Osgoode Hall Law School, today announced the establishment of the McMurtry Visiting Clinical Fellowship – the first program of its kind in Canada – to honour Osgoode alumnus R. Roy McMurtry LLB ‘58, LLD ‘91, former Attorney General and Chief Justice of Ontario and current Chancellor of York University.\nThe McMurtry Visiting Clinical Fellowship will bring leading lawyers and related practitioners to Osgoode for a term or part of a term to provide mentorship to students and lawyers engaged in experiential education initiatives. Fellowship holders may also teach and get involved with Osgoode’s mooting and lawyering programs, participate in research projects, deliver public and faculty lectures, and assist with institutional projects in their areas of expertise and interest.\nThe McMurtry Fellowship, together with the Law School’s announcement last week that it would be the first Canadian law school to introduce an experiential education requirement – a “praxicum” – into its Juris Doctor (JD) curriculum and to open an Office of Experiential Education to develop and support experiential learning initiatives, are key components of a larger, five-year strategic plan (“Experience Osgoode”) to advance experiential education, and build partnerships and collaboration to achieve that goal.\n“McMurtry Fellowships will play a vital role in creating bridges between the academic, policy and practice communities and provide Osgoode students, staff and faculty with the opportunity to connect with broader practice networks and expertise,” said Sossin, adding that the Fellowship holders will be chosen in the spring of each year by an ad hoc selection committee of the Law School consisting of faculty, student and staff representatives. The Fellowship holders will receive an office, administrative support and a stipend with the expectation that they will spend a semester in residence at Osgoode.\nSossin said it is truly fitting that the new Fellowship should bear McMurtry’s name as he “has long championed building bridges between the academy, Bar and Bench.” He described McMurtry as “a driving force” behind numerous endeavours including the creation of Ontario's legal aid system, and particularly the expansion of the community legal clinic model in the 1970s, as well as the founding of the Ontario Justice Education Network and the Chief Justice's Advisory Committee on Professionalism.\n“Roy McMurtry's roots at Osgoode are broad and deep,” Sossin said. “He was given an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree in 1991. He is a featured graduate in Osgoode's Catalysts initiative and the Honourary Chair of the Osgoode History & Archives Project, which showcases the Law School’s illustrious past in dynamic displays throughout our new building.” \nSossin added that the Law School is privileged to welcome a number of Visiting Professors every year who contribute enormously to the School’s academic programs, and the McMurtry Fellowship holders will augment that rich tradition.\nAs an example of the goals of the McMurtry Fellowship program, this September, renowned human rights litigator Joseph Arvay, Q.C. of Arvay Finlay Barristers is visiting Osgoode to provide mentorship to Osgoode’s Clinical Education Program and will deliver the James Lewtas Lecture entitled “Is there a Constitutional Right to Die?” on Wednesday, September 19 at 1 p.m. in Room 1001. \nYork University is the leading interdisciplinary research and teaching university in Canada.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
