HOW TO APPLY

STUDENT ELIGIBILITY, INTERVIEWS AND SELECTION

Students will be selected for this course through an application and interview process. Priority will be given to students who have some previous experience working with low-income communities or other marginalized groups in a service capacity. Relevant experience may include Student Legal Services or other volunteer or paid work. 

Applications should be made to the attention of Professors Lund and Weaver by submitting a curriculum vitae, law transcripts, and a letter of intent outlining your experience (need not be legal services related) and how it has prepared you for the program to lawsupp@ualberta.ca.

Completed applications, including letters of intent, should be submitted electronically, labelled “Low Income Clinical” in the subject heading of your email, and sent to lawsupp@ualberta.ca by 4pm on Friday, July 12 2024.

Selected applicants will be interviewed by: Professors Lund and Weaver; and a representative from each of ECLC, LAA and CPLEA. Course registration will occur once the interview process is complete. If the course becomes full, a waiting list of up to five students will be maintained. Waiting list students may be able to join the class if students drop from the course by the final drop deadline in the Fall 2024 term. However, students who wish to be placed on the waitlist must attend the Pre-Clinical Orientation and Training Session.
