REAL 2019 - Law Firm Application Form |
Overview
This form is intended for law firms applying for funding to hire a second-year law student for placement under the Rural Education & Access to Lawyers (REAL) Student Program in 2019.
New for 2019: The program has always encouraged firm or practitioner contributions in the past. However, this year there is more emphasis on matching funding with priority given to firms that have secured funding. In this application, each practitioner/firm must provide information detailing their steps to secure a funding partner or a commitment to self-match funding received through REAL. If you are unable to secure additional funding and are not in the position to self-fund, it is your responsibility to provide details to the Advisory Board explaining your position.
This form confirms your INTEREST in the program, and ensures you receive updates on the program throughout the recruitment phase. However, it does NOT guarantee your eligibility or approval for funding, which will be determined by the REAL Advisory Board. Applications close on February 20, 2019.
