Support the Canadian Law Review's
Pathways to Law Programs
At CLR, we understand that real change starts with knowledge and connection. That’s why we focus on mentorship, legal education, advocacy, and community-building to equip youth with the tools they need to engage meaningfully with the law. Whether through writing, discussion, or direct action, we support young people in exploring the role of law in their lives and the power they have to change it. By democratizing access to legal literacy and reducing barriers to participation, we’re building a national network of passionate, engaged, and socially conscious future legal professionals. Together, we’re not just studying Canadian law, but we’re reimagining who gets to shape it.
The Canadian Law Review (CLR) is a youth-led nonprofit organization dedicated to bridging the legal gap in Canada. We believe that the legal system should be accessible, equitable, and responsive to the voices of future generations. Through our publications, programs, and platforms, we create space for an intergenerational community of legal thinkers, including students, educators, legal professionals, and advocates, all committed to shaping a more informed and just society.

THE CANADIAN LAW REVIEW
OUR MISSION
The Canadian Law Review’s mission is to empower youth to engage with and shape Canadian law and public policy through advocacy, education, and community.
IMPACT WORK
At the heart of CLR, is a drive to do work that makes positive impact. That's why we launched two equity-centered impact projects: our Access to Justice (A2J) Series and our Pathways to Law (P2L) Pilot Program.
The Access to Justice Series features conversations with legal professionals, advocates, and community leaders who share their personal stories and speak candidly about barriers in Canada’s legal system. From racial justice to housing rights to mental health, these sessions help young people understand the law in a way that’s relevant, accessible, and rooted in lived experience. The Pathways to Law (P2L) Program offers hands-on programming for underrepresented youth, including legal workshops, mentorship, and small-group advocacy projects in marganlzied communities across Ontario. The three P2L Programs are London, Peel Region, and Thunder Bay.
PUBLICATIONS
Through our two flagship publications, we create space for a wide range of voices and experiences. The Journal of the Canadian Law Review is our peer-reviewed academic publication, showcasing rigorous legal research and analysis from emerging scholars across the country. The Brief is our more seasonal publication that breaks down legal concepts, spotlights pressing Canadian legal issues, and amplifies author perspectives on emerging legal topics.
PROGRAMS & TEAMS
The Canadian Law Review offers two programs: The Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) Program and the Campus Ambassador (CA) program. In addition, CLR hosts volunteers across multiple teams, including our operations team, our editorial teams, and our advisory board.
