Law students and legal interns are a vital part of West Coast’s work. Students will work with staff lawyers in the areas of law reform, legal research and legal education and on law reform projects addressing climate change, integration of Indigenous law with environmental law, and the creation of more sustainable, complete urban communities.

These positions are voluntary, and we encourage students to seek the funding assistance of their law faculties, where available. We are also open to discussing flexible arrangements to permit students to undertake other paid employment.
