Professor Anne Levesque has received a grant from the University of Ottawa’s Seed Funding Opportunity (SFO) to study how members of equality-seeking groups involved in public interest litigation interpret access to justice. In addition to contributing to the growing wave of research and initiatives aimed at placing litigants at the centre of the judicial system, Professor Levesque seeks to propose practical solutions for lawyers and members of equality-seeking groups, enabling them to better coordinate judicial and extrajudicial strategies to achieve lasting social change. The results of this research will ultimately be of great benefit to legal practitioners as they design initiatives to promote access to justice in Canada.
The Seed Funding Opportunity supports new researchers at the University of Ottawa. It aims to assist in generating data, testing new ideas, and improving future funding applications.
Congratulations to Professor Levesque!
