As final exams are
approaching and "crunch" time begins, I wanted to briefly share my
JFCY experience with you. Since October, I have been working as JFCY's Public
Legal Education team leader through my school's (the University
of Toronto law school) Pro Bono
Student's Canada
program.
My experience at
JFCY as the PLE team leader has been memorable. Not only have I developed my
legal research and writing skills but I have had the opportunity to gain
knowledge in practical, day-to-day legal issues prevalent in the lives of
children and youth. I gained knowledge through my research
for this blog but also by working collectively with JFCY’s staff lawyers and the PLE
team members I have learned more than any textbook could have taught me.
What is my favorite
part you ask? The PLE team of course! These monthly meetings have become something
I look forward to. The team is composed of a great group of people, all hard
working and dedicated. I had the opportunity to lead the team to create a
trivia game to inform the youth community of their legal rights; “Who Wants to
Be a Millionaire": Youth Criminal Justice Act ("YCJA")
Edition. Through a cumulative effort, we created an interactive, entertaining
yet, educational game which will be featured on our website shortly! Stayed
tuned for that...
