Natasha Bakht, a recent University of Ottawa common law graduate, has been awarded a Hauser Global Scholarship from New York University, where she will start her graduate studies in law this fall. Bakht will receive one-year full tuition and $20,000 for living expenses.

Since completing her clerkship at the Supreme Court of Canada with Justice Louise Arbour, Bakht completed a number of legal consulting projects and worked in the Common Law Section as a sessional professor of criminal law. Bakht’s primary research interests are criminal and constitutional law.

Bakht is also a professional dancer and choreographer, who tours nationally and abroad.
