Volunteers & Students

CLAIHR works with lawyers, law students, legal interns, and non-lawyer volunteers in a variety of capacities to support our litigation, events, and educational programming.

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers work with us in the following ways:

•  Conduct legal research and analysis;
•  Contribute to CLAIHR’s blog and social media presence;
•  Serve as pro bono counsel when CLAIHR seeks to act as a Friend of the Court;
•  Assist our law student volunteers and student chapters;
•  Plan and run continuing professional development and social events;
•  Craft CLAIHR education materials; and
•  Support CLAIHR’s fundraising initiatives

CLAIHR also invites suggestions from volunteers on new initiatives related to international human rights issues.

Law Students & Student Chapters

CLAIHR regularly works with law students through its student chapters at law schools across Canada, and its partnership with Pro Bono Students Canada. CLAIHR student chapters support and promote CLAIHR’s ongoing legal work and coordinate and host events on campus to promote awareness and dialogue on international human rights issues.
