Ideas Lab: Access to Justice

Join the Ideas Lab to develop a business idea which will help solve a problem facing our community. You can come with an idea or join a team with an existing idea! The teams will be formed on the first day of the program, and each participant will receive an award of $325 upon completion. This program is open to undergraduate students from all faculties.

This year, the eHub has partnered with the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Law, Common Law section to host our Ideas Lab. The theme this year will be Access to Justice, which aims to make the legal system more accessible to Canadians. How can we leverage emerging technology and innovation to bridge the current Access to Justice gap? Working in teams, build a business case for a solution that will make legal assistance more accessible to those that need it.
