Goodmans LLP

Applications for the 2026 Avenue Black and Indigenous Undergraduate Law Internship Program close next week!   This 12-week paid internship provides Black and/or Indigenous students in Canada the opportunity to explore careers in law. Ehitohameh Oware joined Goodmans through the program this year and shared her thoughts on the experience:   "The Avenue program is a unique partnership initiative that connects diverse and aspiring students with leading law firms to provide mentorship, hands-on experience, and exposure to the legal profession. I have had the pleasure of being part of the growing alumni network of like-minded students who have found a passion for law through the Avenue program. During my internship with Goodmans, I had the pleasure of rotating through the Litigation and Municipal and Land Development practice areas, and I was able to observe client-focused problem-solving, contribute to research, and witness how collaboration and attention to detail shape effective legal work. Programs like Avenue thrive because of community investment and a shared commitment to opening doors for future legal professionals. I am grateful to Goodmans LLP and the Avenue Program for shaping my path and reminding me that belonging and opportunity go hand in hand in the pursuit of law." — Ehitohameh Oware   Apply by December 5, 2025: https://oba.org/avenue   Ontario Bar Association #AvenueCanada #FutureLawyers #DEI
