Committee to look further into the proposal.<br />
The research memo for this project is due December 01, 2013.<br />
Each <strong>of</strong> the six <strong>Ontario</strong> common law schools will recruit one student to provide research and<br />
writing for METRAC on legal topics that would be <strong>of</strong> assistance to survivors <strong>of</strong> intimate partner<br />
violence and woman abuse. In particular, METRAC’s legal staff will assign topics to the<br />
students to produce articles for the <strong>Ontario</strong> Women’s Justice Network website,<br />
http://www.owjn.org/, or to produce research memoranda that can form the basis for such<br />
articles, as needed. Please note this is an intensive writing experience with training and ongoing<br />
feedback on the principles <strong>of</strong> plain language writing so that the information is accessible for the<br />
intended audience.<br />
Team 1 student.<br />
The Euthanasia Prevention Association is looking for one student to track case law surrounding<br />
end <strong>of</strong> life issues, both nationally and internationally for pro bono clients <strong>of</strong> Scher <strong>Law</strong>. The<br />
organization is also looking for students to produce a legal newsletter involving case summaries<br />
and comments while also writing articles for the Euthanasia Prevention Association. There will<br />
also be student involvement in the Supreme Court <strong>of</strong> Canada appeal on Carter v AG Canada.<br />
Students will be expected to complete monthly or bi-weekly check-ins onsite or by phone with<br />
lawyer supervisor Hugh Scher. Workspace and research facilities can be provided to the<br />
student if needed. The student at <strong>Western</strong> will visit the Euthanasia Prevention Association <strong>of</strong>fice<br />
in London on a bi-weekly basis and check-in by telephone with Hugh Scher monthly. Students<br />
may also be asked to prepare a paper/research memo on employment law and human rights<br />
law in the winter semester depending on how efficiently they complete the main project.<br />
Qualified applicants should have an interest in constitutional law, health law, human rights law,<br />
and employment law. Students should also have good research and writing skills. Preference<br />
will be given to bilingual students, however this is not a requirement.<br />
