When she died in August 2023, Windsor Law grad Alexandra Paul (JD 2020) left a legacy of kindness, generosity, and a presence that only those who were fortunate enough to know her can understand, says a classmate who has founded a scholarship in her memory.

“Alexandra has had a lasting impact on the Windsor Law community, and her spirit and energy won’t be forgotten,” says Riley Brooks (JD 2020), treasurer of the Simcoe County Law Association, which funded the Alexandra J. Paul Memorial Scholarship to provide support each year to a University of Windsor law student.

“Members of the law association were devastated by her tragic passing. We are delighted to extend this scholarship so that Windsor Law students can also be a part of Alexandra’s story.”

Before her law studies, Paul was a competitive ice dancer. With her partner and later husband, she finished second at the 2010 World Junior Championships, won bronze three times at the Canadian Figure Skating Championships, and represented Canada at the 2014 Sochi Olympics.

After her admission to the bar, she began a legal career with the firm Barriston Law practising in the areas of wills and estates, real estate, and corporate law.
