Call for Collaboration · Student Voices · Citizen Justice

You're studying law. You want your knowledge to serve more than grades — to reach real people, to contribute to a more humane and accessible system of justice. EnDroit.ca was built for this mission, and today, we're opening the door to you.

An independent citizen platform, EnDroit.ca (currently JusticeQuébec.ca transitioning to EnDroit.ca) documents, demystifies, and defends access to justice. A more mature and professional platform, in service of citizens who navigate Quebec's legal system on their own.

More than 35,000 unique visitors per month on the site. 2.2 million monthly views across our social platforms. 50,000 people reached every week on LinkedIn. Indexed on the first page of Google for the leading issues of Quebec's justice system.

But behind the numbers: families broken by Youth Protection Services (DPJ) who write to us, neurodivergent individuals misunderstood by the system, victims of domestic violence searching for their rights, citizens without legal counsel. EnDroit.ca exists for them. And it's for them that we need you.

I — Why You

Citizen justice is built by those who will carry it forward

You are that generation. You bring fresh legal knowledge, intellectual energy, the perspective of someone still learning — and above all, the deep conviction that law must serve people, not just institutions.

We know your voices can be difficult to make heard within established structures. Academic law journals are selective. Mainstream media doesn't speak the language of law. Professional legal blogs are often closed to students. EnDroit.ca offers you a real publication space, read by a real audience, that values your work and your name.

"You are the generation that will inherit the system. You are also the one that can transform it."

— EnDroit.ca

Open to everyone, regardless of your law school, your year, your background, your origin, or your future bar admission. The diversity of voices is our strength, and it is what makes the difference of tomorrow.

II — The Issues That Drive Us

Access to justice for those the system forgets

EnDroit.ca covers the issues that directly affect people made vulnerable by the legal system. If one of these subjects speaks to you — truly, not just academically — your voice matters to us.

Our editorial focus areas

Access to justice and self-representation. Domestic violence and protection of vulnerable persons. Youth protection (DPJ) and families broken by the system. Neurodivergence, disability, and recognition of difference. Discrimination, racial profiling, rights of racialized persons and religious minorities. Systemic justice and institutional failures.

— EnDroit.ca's editorial focus

You don't need to be an expert to contribute. You need to be committed, rigorous, and bring a voice that is truly your own. The rest — structure, plain language, legal precision — we work on together through our editorial mentorship.

III — What This Collaboration Means

Real visibility, personalized mentorship, complete independence

You write for an audience that reads you, responds to you, and shares your work. Your texts are published under your byline, accompanied by a biography that follows you professionally. Your profile joins our Trust & References Page, alongside practicing lawyers and nationally recognized experts.

The platform's digital authority ensures your name remains lastingly indexed in Google search — a visibility that will follow you throughout your career. For a student about to apply to law firms, pursuing a clerkship, or competing for a coveted articling position, that's a concrete and durable professional asset.

And you receive personalized editorial mentorship that helps you grow as a jurist and as a writer. Every article is revised with you, not against you.

At your own pace. No quotas. No bureaucratic red tape.

IV — Our Independence

What makes this independent collaboration possible

EnDroit.ca is a genuinely independent citizen platform.

No affiliation with a professional order or organization. No government or institutional grants. No external editor. No advertising.

Only the citizen voice, carried by those who believe justice must be accessible to all. This independence is what allows us to say what needs to be said — and what allows you to write with freedom, without having to navigate the pressures or expectations of any institution.

We welcome voices from all Canadian law schools — francophone, bilingual, and anglophone alike: McGill, Ottawa, Osgoode, Toronto, UBC, Dalhousie, Queen's, Western, Alberta, Laval, Montréal, UQAM, Sherbrooke, and beyond.

This invitation also extends to law students from international jurisdictions — the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Australia, and beyond — where we have a significant readership. Our Trust & References Page already includes collaborators based outside Quebec. Bringing a comparative perspective, sharing approaches adopted elsewhere, bearing witness to issues that transcend borders: your viewpoint enriches our conversation.

Whether you're aiming for the Quebec Bar, the Law Society of Ontario, the New York State Bar, the Solicitors Regulation Authority, or any other jurisdiction, your voice is welcome here.

The Invitation

You are this generation. We're waiting for you.

Citizen justice will not be built in expert symposiums or in the committees of professional orders. It is built in the voices that dare to say what needs to be said, write what needs to be written, defend those who have no one to defend them. It is collective, intergenerational, independent work.

If you've read this call this far, you probably recognize something of yourself in what we describe. What comes next is up to you.

📩 To apply — it's simple and direct
