Programs

In collaboration with our partners across UVic, the BPL offers facilitated workshops on the job market, business planning and management, financial planning and life skills, and seminars that enrich our students' knowledge in three key areas:

1. Professional Educational Support: matching Black law students to faculty mentors who offer culturally-sensitive learning support to ensure students excel in their core educational courses and programs at UVic Law.
   
   
2. Mentorship, Sponsorship, and Building Connections: students will be matched with Black legal mentors across Canada who will provide one-on-one support for students throughout their legal education at UVic, and as they enter the job market.
   
   
3. Life and Business Skills: workshops and seminars will be led by guest speakers on strategies for succeeding in and beyond law school, job applications, training in business development and financial management, and mental wellness.
