Each year, OJEN invites law students and paralegal students across Ontario to apply for our Justice Education Fellowship positions. These Fellowships are year-long placements in which students receive in-depth training in public legal education theory and methods. Each Fellow then plans and, generally, runs a minimum of 3 justice education programs in their local community\u2019s schools and community groups, with support from OJEN\u2019s staff team and volunteers from the local legal sector. Fellows rapidly build their skills in communications, community outreach, public speaking, access to justice initiatives, and plain-language work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Justice Education Fellowships help OJEN to expand the reach of our programs into cities across Ontario. They allow us to invest in students who demonstrate an aptitude and interest in public legal education to become more successful legal communicators and professionals. Through working with OJEN\u2019s local committees and collaborating with legal volunteers on their projects, our Fellows are able to build connections with like-minded legal professionals while also bridging the gap between local youth and the justice sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
