Among the recipients was Marvin Storrow, QC, who received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. Born in Vancouver in 1934, Storrow attended the University of British Columbia and was called to the bar in 1963.

While his expertise covers a number of areas, he is known for his success in Indigenous law, including several groundbreaking verdicts in constitutional rights and land titles in the 1970s and 1980s.
