Each year, OJEN invites law and paralegal students across Ontario to apply for our Justice Education Fellowships. Fellows receive in-depth training in public legal education theory and methods. During the school year, they are each responsible for planning and delivering a minimum of 3 justice education projects in local schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2022-23 cohort of Fellows exceeded these expectations by delivering as many as 5 or more projects each! Projects ranged from workshops on OJEN\u2019s 14 Steps to Justice<\/a> modules, introducing students to different areas of law, to sessions on consent, Charter<\/em> rights or international law. They also spoke to classes about their personal journeys and experiences in law, answering students’ questions about pathways to various law-related careers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ten new Justice Education Fellows have now been selected for the 2023-24 school year, 1 from each of Ontario\u2019s 8 law schools, as well as 2 paralegal programs. As with previous cohorts, the fellows bring a wealth of experience and passion to their roles. They look forward to working with OJEN staff and partners!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
