She has served the Faculty of Law as associate dean (admissions) (1991-1995); associate dean (strategic planning) (2004-2005); (associate dean (graduate studies) (2010-2013); and associate dean (academic) (2019-2022).

A three-time winner of the Durnford Teaching Excellence Award, Professor Jukier has received two 91 lifetime achievements awards in recognition of her outstanding career: the Morty Yalovsky Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in Academic Leadership in 2022 and the 91 Lifetime Achievement Award for Leadership in Learning in 2023.
