An opportunity to apply your hard-earned case-working experience to the scholarship on access to justice.
The Law Students’ Access to Justice Society — supported by LSLAP’s executive team and law professors from Allard and beyond — is seeking submissions for The Access Review, a new biannual journal on access to justice in British Columbia.
For decades, LSLAP has advanced access to justice one case at a time. The Access Review builds on that case-working experience to give voice to perspectives laypersons too often navigate without legal aid — from a grounded, but academic vantage.
Founded with clinic work in mind, The Access Review welcomes any law student with an access-to-justice issue to explore. Proposals can come in the form of:
Proposals are reviewed on a rolling basis, with a decision within a few weeks (outside exam periods). Accepted proposals are supervised by a law professor from our advisory committee — and for quantitative work, we’ll pair you with researchers experienced in those methods.
Make sure you are logged into your LSLAP Microsoft account; you can submit your proposal through the Clinician Form linked to the right. This will help us keep client matters confidential.
Not with LSLAP? Submit through the public form.
Client confidentiality still governs any discussion of casework; where a proposal draws on specific matters, we obtain the appropriate client permissions before it proceeds.
