Programmes de stages et de bourses d’études de PBSC

Bourses d’études sur les questions d’intérêt public

Le programme de bourses d’études sur les questions d’intérêt public, créé par la Fondation du droit de l’Ontario (FDO), offre aux étudiants la possibilité de faire un stage dans un organisme d’intérêt public qui n’aurait pas autrement les ressources financières lui permettant d’accueillir un étudiant stagiaire. La FDO a pour mission de favoriser l’avancement des connaissances juridiques, d’encourager l’excellence au sein de la profession et de faire progresser l’idéal d’un système juridique véritablement accessible à tous. En créant et en soutenant le programme, la FDO a pour objectif d’aider les étudiants en droit à choisir des carrières en droit axées sur l’intérêt public tout en répondant aux besoins des communautés. Le programme est accessible aux étudiants de toutes les facultés de droit du Canada.

À l’Université de Toronto, PBSC administre deux programmes de bourses d’études visant à soutenir l’emploi d’été d’étudiants en droit dans divers organismes communautaires et d’intérêt public.

oPublic Interest Articling Fellowships

§The Public Interest Articling Fellowship Program, funded by the Law Foundation of Ontario (LFO), provides students with the opportunity to article at a public interest organization that otherwise would not have the financial capacity to host an articling student.

In creating and supporting the program, the LFO’s goal is to encourage law students to choose public interest law careers while also responding to community need. The program is open to students from every law school in Canada. Participating organizations have included:
