The Inspiring Future Indigenous Black & Mi’kmaq Lawyers Internship Pathways (IB&MIP) vision is to provide African Nova Scotian (ANS), Black, Indigenous and Mi’kmaq high school students in grades 10, 11 and 12 who have an interest in the law, the opportunity to be exposed to the legal profession. The internship inspires students to feel confident to pursue a legal education. This is in keeping with the Donald Marshall Jr. recommendations which discuss the need for increased representation of African Nova Scotian, Black, Indigenous and Mi'kmaq individuals in the legal profession.
Students will take part in field trips to the law courts, law firms and the African Nova Scotian Justice Institute. They will engage with current law students, career mentors and in other recreational activities in the evenings. The internship will emphasize the pathway to the legal profession including attending law school and the IB&M initiative.
Students who self-identify as Indigenous, Mi'kmaq, African Nova Scotian or are of African Descent are encouraged to apply.
