OJEN has partnered with the Little Grape That Could in a fun campaign we think you’ll enjoy!    

The Little Grape That Could is a non-profit wine company founded in Toronto by a wonderfully generous team of skilled volunteers. 100% of profits from the sale of each bottle of wine go to the charity of your choice. A dollar from every bottle of The Little Grape That Could wine you buy will go to OJEN!

How does it work?

It's that time of year again!  OJEN is pleased to make a call for applications for the OJEN/LFO Mock Trial Fund. We welcome funding applications from existing mock trial events, and applications supporting new mock trial events.  In addition to financial support, OJEN will provide assistance with scenarios, information and tips on gaining sponsorship and in-kind support from local businesses, media coverage, approaching and involving justice sector representatives, requesting courthouse space for events, and other items. 

Grade 5 teachers (Grades 4, 4/5, 5/6 and 6 teachers as well) can register now for OJEN's Elementary School Civil Mock Trial (ECMT) for the 2012 - 2013 school year!  

September 24, 2012 is the earliest date Unit 3 can be scheduled.  

June 14, 2013 is the last date Unit 4 can be scheduled.
