The technological necessities wrought by the pandemic have prompted Russell Alexander Collaborative Family Lawyers to expand its annual $2,000 scholarship program.
The program is aimed at Canadian high school students interested in joining or studying the legal profession.
Scholarship winners will now also receive a $500 technological stipend towards the purchase of a personal computer or tablet needed to take classes online.
Given the uncertainties of the academic year, Russell Alexander, which has six offices in southeastern Ontario, has extended the application deadline for the scholarship to September 30.
