Welcome to the Advocacy Club's Commercial Site

The Advocacy Club was founded in 2007 to train articling students and junior lawyers in the arts of civil advocacy. Since then, it has expanded to include hundreds of participants from many law firms and governmental organizations, paralegals and people in other professions. The Club's sessions are based on these principles:

• Trainees learn more by doing than by listening to lectures.
• Professionals benefit greatly from networking with like-minded people.
• Collegiality, professionalism, and competence are interrelated and form the foundation for a successful career.​

This website works in tandem with the Training/Networking site. For information about live training and networking opportunities, visit www.advocacyclub.ca.

The Advocacy Club now partners with the Emily Murphy Non-profit Housing Corp.

The Emily Murphy Non-profit Housing Corp is the first affordable supportive housing option for single parents in Ontario. It provides single parents and their children with affordable, quality housing while also encouraging them to thrive in the broader community. Its mission is to provide stable housing and empower families to lead healthy, independent lives. It values the dignity and uniqueness of each individual living at EM, strives to uphold equity and recognize diversity within the EM community, and supports single parents and children to become stronger and more confident in controlling their own lives and recognizing their own rights.

Each Boot Camp, creative fiction sale and Advanced Club lead the Advocacy Club to donate to a scholarship fund for residents of EM. To date (spring 2022), we have donated $5,000. For more information, contact Club member and EMNH Board Chair, Victoria Boddy.
