High School Outreach Programs
High school is a great time to start exploring your interest in the law. UofT Law offers and collaborates with a number of outreach programs aimed at youth with identities and backgrounds that are underrepresented in the field of law.
Law in Action Within Schools (LAWS)
Each year, over 200 high school students come for the day to UofT Law to hear from law students, lawyers and other legal professionals about how to pursue a career in the law. Participants attend inspirational speaker sessions, educational workshops, and a networking reception.
See Yourself Here began as an initiative of our Black Law Students’ Association in 2008 and has since expanded to include high school students from other equity-seeking communities that have been underrepresented in law schools and the legal profession.
See Yourself Here is free of charge to attend.
UofT Law partnership with Leadership By Design
Leadership By Design is a leadership enrichment program for Black students in the GTA. Participating students and their parents meet on Saturday mornings, often on university or college campuses, to engage in leadership training and mentoring activities with professionals and other leaders from the Black community.
UofT Law is very pleased to host the Leadership By Design program for a full-day of discussions and activities that focus on leadership, the law, and legal education.
