NEW FRONTIERS

The fundraising program New Frontiers, is designed to secure meaningful Canadian experience for Internationally Trained Lawyers and National Committee on Accreditation Candidates (ITLNCAs). The Canadian experience will be completed in one of the following stages: (i) summer jobs (ITLNCA OCIs), or (ii) internships and transition placements (Articling/LPP, where applicable). Placements are to be procured within Legal Clinics and/or not-for-profit legal service providers that support access to justice areas of law.
