Imagine...

IMAGINE...
...if behind every refugee there was a team of high-powered lawyers fighting for that person's chance to settle in Canada. That's often what I think about when I see the files of our clients at Just Solutions Legal Clinic. Their stories are so compelling and the law should be on their side, but they often simply do not have the resources to make their case. The fact is, when it comes to immigration law, it's not a level playing field.
When we are able to take on a case, our advocacy can have an enormous impact on an entire family's life.
Working at Just Solutions has opened my eyes to these aspects of justice that I hadn't really considered in law school. It's been wonderful to feel that with a law degree I really can make a concrete difference in the lives of others. It's inspiring to be a part of a team that is so committed to this work.
