The Warrior Project

The Aboriginal Lawyers Forum is deeply committed to supporting Indigenous law and articling students – our future legal warriors – through a very special initiative.

The Warrior Project helps fund articling positions for Indigenous students in BC.

18th Online Auction to Raise Funds

The Aboriginal Lawyers Forum is excited to announce the return of their annual online auction celebrating National Indigenous Peoples Day. The auction, running from June 21-29, raises money to support the Warrior Project.

You can support this great cause by donating auction items or soliciting items to be donated. This is a great opportunity to feature local businesses and services. Their gift cards or certificates are win-win donations! The deadline to donate is June 9.

To donate, contact Isabel Jackson.

Scholarships at Everyone Legal Clinic

In 2022, the ALF donated $20,000 to create the "CBABC Aboriginal Lawyers Forum Scholarship" to fund Indigenous-to-Canada articling student scholarships through the Everyone Legal Clinic, run by Access Pro Bono.

The ELC aims to increase access to justice for low and modest income people by having articling students provide affordable, high quality legal services to underserved communities across BC. These values align with the ALF's dedication to Indigenous people and the legal profession.

"A key part of our mission is to improve and promote access to justice in BC. We are pleased to work together with Everyone Legal Clinic to break down barriers and create a more inclusive justice system for communities who are typically underserved."

– Scott Morishita, CBABC President 2023/24
