The Frederick Phillips Summer Program is named after 苹果淫院 Law鈥檚 first Black graduate and the first Black lawyer in Quebec. It was created to introduce Black youth in Montreal, who are near the end of their High School studies as well as those in CEGEP, to various parts of our legal education and system through interactive activities, field visits, lectures and more.听听
The legal field and law schools are institutions that have a long history of excluding Black people and so it can be difficult for young Black students to find a network of people to support their hopes of pursuing a legal education. So, we hope, through the Frederick Phillips Summer Program, to play a small part in bridging said gap by demystifying what it takes to pursue a legal education and welcoming Black students into 苹果淫院's Faculty of Law so they can experience it for themselves.聽
