The Family Justice Centre (FJC): A Game-Changer in Ontario's Legal Community
At Shulman & Partners, we believe in using our skills and expertise to make a difference in the legal community, and we urge other law firms to do the same. As one of the two Champion Partners of the Family Justice Centre alongside Epstein Cole LLP; we started providing our impactful support to the program in 2021, and we are excited to see all the hard work come to fruition.
The Family Justice Centre (FJC) is a groundbreaking initiative that addresses the access to justice gap in Ontario's family law system. Designed as an innovative response to this pressing issue, the FJC brings together lawyers and law students from across the province to provide free family law support. By uniting legal professionals and aspiring lawyers, the FJC aims to ensure that every individual has equal access to justice in family matters.
Shulman & Partners' Early Engagement and Contributions
As early partners of the Family Justice Centre, we have made significant contributions to support its mission. We have donated $50,000 to help fund the FJC's programs and initiatives, ensuring that individuals in need can access free family law support. Additionally, our team of experienced lawyers has played a crucial role in the growth and success of the FJC. They have provided guidance on programming, participated in training law students, and offered volunteer support as members of the roster of Lawyer Supervisors. By leveraging our expertise, we have helped shape the FJC's initiatives and ensure their effectiveness in serving the community.
