Many areas of law intersect with and impact a young person’s access to, and pathway through, our education systems. In this session, Justice for Children and Youth, Ontario’s specialty child rights legal clinic, will explore three such intersections – immigration law for young people with no or precarious immigration status, special education systems and their legal framework, and youth criminal justice.

Panelists include:

• Sarah Pole, Director, Childhood Arrivals Support and Advocacy Program (CASA)

• Erica Lalonde, Program Manager, Enhancing Access to Special Education (EASE)

• Kaffie Abdirashid, Education Advocate at the Toronto Northwest Justice Centre

• Meaza Damta, summer law student with Justice For Children and Youth and EASE
