About this Event
For many young people, a career in justice may feel out of their reach. This event is focused on helping young people find inspiration from diverse women who are successful legal/justice sector professionals. The goal of this program is to show that there is a place for everyone in the legal profession.
This event is organized by the Justice Education Society (JES) and a dedicated organizing committee spearheaded by Justice Donegan and Judge Stanford. The first event of this kind was run by OJEN out of Waterloo. Find more information about the origins of this event here.
