Professor Delisle began his time at »Ê¹ÚÌåÓý’s as a gifted student and a promising member of the football team. Despite being drafted by the Edmonton Eskimos, upon completion of his BSc(Eng.) he chose to attend law school at »Ê¹ÚÌåÓý’s, where he was the faculty’s gold medalist in 1964.
In 1967 professor Delisle returned to »Ê¹ÚÌåÓý’s as a faculty member and became a highly accomplished scholar in the areas of evidence and criminal law. He was also greatly admired as a teacher, especially for his ability to get students thinking and debating, and was a recipient of both the »Ê¹ÚÌåÓý’s Alumni Award for Excellence in Teaching and the AMS Frank Knox Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Aside from serving as a provincial court judge in Ontario from 1974 until 1978, professor Delisle remained at »Ê¹ÚÌåÓý’s until his retirement in 2000. He will be laid to rest in a private ceremony.
