The Nunavut Law Program (NLP) provides a Nunavut-based professional legal education to Nunavummiut. The proposed AIP project will provide NLP students with professional hands-on learning opportunities as well as a strong foundation in Inuit traditional law through: the establishment of a legal clinic in Iqaluit for students to gain practical experience; participation in mooting (an opportunity for students to compete in a mock court of appeal); peer-mentoring; exchange programs; bursaries to support student success; and traditional law and cultural activities. This project would provide holistic and scholastic opportunities to ensure student success as well-rounded and prepared legal professionals ready to serve and increase access to justice in Nunavut.
