Job Description Summary

The Peter A. Allard School of Law, Indigenous Community Legal Clinic (ICLC) was founded in 1991 and has provided legal assistance to over 17,000 Indigenous peoples in BC.

By enrolling in the ICLC program, students interested in advocacy, social justice and working with and for Indigenous peoples can gain practical experience, build competencies, and make a meaningful contribution to a historically underserved and marginalized community. Working at the ICLC gives students practical hands-on experience managing client files, preparing for and attending court, and building competencies when working with Indigenous peoples.

The ICLC is seeking to hire one articling student for 2025-2026. Applicants must be a graduate of the Allard School of Law (previously UBC Law).
