Can you start by telling us your name, where you attended law school, the year that you graduated, and where you’re currently articling?
My name is Hanaa Ameer-Uddin, and I graduated from the University of Ottawa in June 2025. I am currently articling at Mercedes-Benz Financial Services Canada Corporation (MBFS). The opportunity to article in-house at MBFS does not come up often so I am grateful for this experience.
What inspired your path to law school?
What inspired my path to law school was recognizing the power law and policies have to help marginalized populations within Canada. I completed my undergraduate degree in Health Studies at York University where I learned that systems which shape our communities are key to improving health outcomes, especially for marginalized groups. I applied to law school so I could create effective change within my community and advocate for reforms to help others.
