Learning (and Writing) about the Law: Students' Perspectives

Earlier this year, in partnership with Ontario Tech University, OJEN ran its first annual essay contest asking high school students: What role does law reform play in creating positive social change? In this episode of Law Syrup, we hear from the winners, Zainab, Jal, and Marwa, as they share what inspired their essays, what they discovered about law’s impact on society, and how they see their own educational and professional futures unfolding.

Accompanying classroom resources for every episode of Law Syrup's first season can be found on www.ojen.ca.
