Recently, students like OBA Student Chair Heather Donkers, and young lawyers have been raising the cost of court robes as another expense they must incur at an already expensive time, and hundreds of lawyers instantly expressed an interest in helping. The OBA is creating easy ways to match those who need robes with those who want to donate or lend them.
To participate in this program, please select one of the options below and fill in the online form to let us know how you would like to participate. Those open to participating will receive follow-up communication with more detail, including how the program will work and some fun ways that we will provide new lawyers with a chance to hear the legal adventures the robes had with their original owners - and what lessons spring from those adventures - and allow the original owners to follow the new adventures of their robes as a new lawyer dons them at the dawn of their career in a changing profession.
Form submissions, including section articles and Career Centre job postings, are temporarily disabled on the OBA website as we perform a maintenance update. We anticipate reopening form submissions by the end of February on our updated platform.
