This project gives students the opportunity to investigate a current legal, political, public policy, or human rights issue affecting people and communities in Canada. Through research and analysis, students will explore how laws, government policies, and public institutions respond to real-world challenges. Students will develop research, critical thinking, and civic engagement skills while examining issues that shape Canadian society.
Volunteers will independently complete the entire “Keys to the Court” docu‑course, an interactive introduction to the Supreme Court of Canada. Through eight self‑paced modules, participants explore the foundations of the Canadian justice system, the Court’s procedures, landmark cases, the role of judges, and contemporary legal debates. The course combines video interviews, 360° virtual tours, timelines, and data graphics. To log volunteer hours, participants must finish all modules and complete a brief Course Worksheet which is split into two parts to confirm engagement with the material. Part B is a Worksheet asking questions from Modules 5-8. This flexible project offers an excellent opportunity to gain insight into Canada’s highest court while contributing to public legal education through verified completion.
