Both focus group and individual-level data gathered through the Roundtable will be presented in a report produced later in the year.

Last month I had watched the new documentary, Framing Britney Spears, which had inspired me to write a blog post on Law For Millennials about what conservatorship is, and what the process of what we call guardianship looks like in Ontario.

For those who don't know, I am the creator of blog Law for Millennials - The Complete Beginners Guide to Law, which provides free and easy to understand legal information focused on millennials’ legal issues.

Feeling empowered after I have the opportunity to attend the virtual International Women's Day Program last night! The event highlighted not only how women face increased domestic violence, unpaid care duties, unemployment and poverty during this time, but also how the current pandemic has impacted female and racialized lawyers and paralegals.

It was so inspirational to hear each speakers unique experiences, challenges, and success stories, and a special thank you goes out to LSO for putting on a great event!
