It is consciously directed to the facilitating of access to legal education and the legal profession for those who have been disadvantaged due to gender, race, creed, colour, religion or socio-economic background. We seek out those who have traditionally been barred from higher law study to ensure that Canada’s many communities will have access to legal professionals, as that Canada’s diverse and varied society can be served from a variety of perspectives. -- Former Dean Neil Gold, 1989."
