Who are the Upper-Year Advisors?

The upper-year advisors are selected from second and third year students who have shown a commitment to the Osgoode community. The role of the upper-year advisor is to act as a resource for the students within their mentor group. This may range from simply listening to student concerns over law school and employment, to providing any additional information they can to address issues of interest to the students.

As an addition to the program this year, mentors will be asked to have their upper-year advisor job-shadow them. Job shadowing may involve attending a client interview, attending a courtroom session, an introduction to a typical workday and/or any other activity the mentor determines would be beneficial to introduce an upper-year student to the practice of law. The job-shadowing element of the program is arranged for the second term of the school year and it will be up to the upper-year advisor and the mentor to set up the details.
