Osgoode Hall Law School is proud to announce that 13 of its students have secured highly sought-after judicial clerkships at various levels of the Courts for the 2026-2027 term.
These one-year clerkships provide an invaluable opportunity for young lawyers, particularly those interested in litigation and academia, to gain hands-on experience by assisting judges with research, drafting, and editing judgments.
After completing her current clerkship at the Ontario Court of Appeal this year, Zoe Bernicchia-Freeman ’24 will clerk at the Supreme Court of Canada (with Justice Côté).
Tai Jacob ’25, Eyitayo Kunle-Oladosu ’25, Gavriel Kesik-Libin ’26, Jess Abramson ’25, and (after clerking at the Federal Court) Alexandre Cachon ’25 will all clerk at the Ontario Court of Appeal.
Jacqueline Chen ’25 (LLM Tax) will clerk at the Federal Court of Appeal, and Sahar Fatima ’25 will clerk with Justice Battista at the Federal Court.
Alain Azar ’25 (LLM Tax), Luke (Lu) Chao ’25, and Hariss Safi ’24 will all clerk at the Tax Court of Canada.
Aprajita Monga ’26 and John Nyman ’26 will clerk at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, respectively in the Central West Region and in Toronto.
“We are tremendously inspired by all of our students who successfully obtained clerkship positions, including at the Supreme Court of Canada and five clerkships at the Ontario Court of Appeal,” said Dean Trevor Farrow. “They will have exciting opportunities to observe and participate in our judicial system from the inside while developing their research, writing, and analytical skills. We look forward to their future impact and ongoing leadership in the profession.”
Current Osgoode students and recent alumni interested in judicial clerkships, including opportunities at the Supreme Court of Canada, are encouraged to reach out to Associate Dean of Students, Amar Bhatia, or Nicola Martin in the Career Development Office for more information.
