Apps for Justice Program

OJEN’s Apps for Justice program is a creative, collaborative way for students to explore access to justice (A2J) through the lens of technology. Developed in partnership with the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Law and Professor Amy Salyzyn, this program invites students to think critically about real-world barriers to justice and imagine innovative solutions that use technology to overcome them.

You’ll find two main paths to choose from, depending on your classroom goals:

  • The 2-day version introduces students to A2J concepts and explores how technology can expand access to justice.
  • The full 5-day model takes the learning further, guiding students to design their own technology-based solutions or app concepts that directly target specific A2J challenges.

Whether you have a couple of days or a full week, Apps for Justice is a flexible, thought-provoking way to connect law, innovation, and social impact in your classroom.
