At Lerners, we believe that diversity in the legal services industry is integral to providing effective legal representation. That is why we are excited to continue our Learn with Lerners Bursary & Mentorship Program as part of our efforts to help address the systemic barriers experienced early on by Black, Indigenous and People of Colour in the legal services industry.
This program is offered to recent graduates of publicly funded secondary schools in Ontario, who are interested in careers in the legal services industry and plan to attend college or university in the 2024-25 academic year.
