Program Coordinator, Kathleen Makela and Director, Larry Chartrand discuss the Indigenous Law Centre’s Summer Program.
The Indigenous Law Centre at the University of Saskatchewan offers The Summer Program in Property and Customary Law, which is an eight-week graduate program offered to Indigenous law students from across Canada. The program covers Property Law and Customary Law which count towards their first year credits and makes their workload during the first semester of law school a bit more manageable. Specifically, students learn about property law and skills to be successful in law school, such as: legal writing, legal analysis, how to brief on cases, and legal memos. Since 1973, The Summer Program has been successful in increasing the number of Indigenous people studying and practising law in Canada.
Since this story was created much has changed at the Indigenous Law Centre at the University of Saskatchewan. The Summer Program in Property and Customary Law no longer exists and has evolved into a new certificate program.
