Law Commission of Canada Emerging Scholars Program
The Law Commission of Canada Emerging Scholars Program recognizes doctoral candidates as emerging scholars in law and law reform. The Program provides four-month paid opportunities (the duration of an academic semester) to two doctoral candidates in law, law and society, or other disciplines highlighting intersections with law and policy at a Canadian university. Applicants are invited to continue work on their doctoral thesis while making an innovative and meaningful contribution to the LCC.
Your proposed contribution should link your own research and community engagement with the LCC’s mission and orientations in research and outreach. Examples of scholars’ contributions include discussion and study papers, empirical surveys with analysis, educational workshops, podcast episodes, etc. Scholars would be paid $10,000 CAD for their contribution to the LCC.
