York University’s Osgoode Hall Law School has established the $1M Osgoode Access to Justice Fund, thanks to a gift from the Raj Anand and Lesley Valentine-Anand Foundation. The fund will support two key programs in particular: The Osgoode Access to Justice Internships and the Raj Anand and LCO Access to Justice Research Fellowship. The internships funding will provide JD students with financial support to pursue summer placements at public-interest organizations, while the fellowship program—housed at the Law Commission of Ontario—will enable academics, legal professionals, and postdoctoral researchers to undertake law-reform research and contribute to public projects. YorkU Osgoode Dean Trevor Farrow welcomed the gift, noting the “critical time for the rule of law and justice.”
