About:

CCLA fights for the civil liberties, human rights, and democratic freedoms of all people across Canada. We are an independent, national, nongovernmental organization, working in the courts, before legislative committees, in classrooms and in the streets, protecting the rights and freedoms cherished by Canadians and entrenched in our Constitution.

Project Details

CCLA RightsWatch is a project to allow students the chance to monitor key civil liberties issues and cases before courts and legislatures, and to provide assistance to CCLA advocacy directors in keeping track, in a timely way, of the issues arising across the country.

Who can apply?

Only upper-year students are eligible to apply. Constitutional law strongly preferred. Students should be engaged and interested in current events as they impact on civil liberties, government accountability, and the CCLA’s various program areas. An interest in or commitment to social justice is an asset.
