OJEN on the Air

OJEN on the Air invites students to research a legal topic, interview an expert, and record a radio segment or podcast about their topic. Sometimes, we partner with a local radio station to get students into a professional studio, where recording experts can coach them on their work. But even if you don’t have a studio nearby, recording a podcast is easy to do in any quiet room with a computer and a microphone.

To help your students with their research, OJEN invites law students from local universities to help spot the legal issues and connect youth with a legal professional (usually a lawyer, law professor, or a paralegal) who can answer their questions. It’s a great opportunity to build connections with your community’s post-secondary institutions.

In the past, students have created radio segments on issues like freedom of religion, youth drinking, discrimination, search and seizure, downloading and copyright law, mental health, and more.
