Though there are considerable similarities between Canada and the U.S., we nonetheless found a desire to have a means of gathering Canadians studying at Harvard Law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have formed the CLSA, a student-run organization at Harvard Law School, to serve as a venue for convening. The CLSA serves two functions. First, we are a social group that enjoys each other&#8217;s company and conversation. Whether it is catching up on Canadian politics and current affairs, or simply hanging out and chatting about home, Canadians at Harvard enjoy having the CLSA community a part of their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our second function is a resource for professional issues. Though institutional knowledge and our alumni networks, we have familiarity with matters including: Canadian clerkships, the Canadian hiring market, the re-accreditation process, and the Canadian legal landscape. Additionally, Visa issues that are unique to Canadians can often find an answer within the CLSA community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-932b0c23 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/orgs.law.harvard.edu\/canadian\/contact-us\/\" style=\"background-color:#76152a\">Contact Us<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orgs.law.harvard.edu\/canadian\/files\/2018\/09\/cropped-Flag-Image.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/orgs.law.harvard.edu\/canadian\/files\/2018\/09\/cropped-Flag-Image-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Canadian and American Flag \" class=\"wp-image-37\" style=\"width:776px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orgs.law.harvard.edu\/canadian\/files\/2018\/09\/cropped-Flag-Image-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orgs.law.harvard.edu\/canadian\/files\/2018\/09\/cropped-Flag-Image-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orgs.law.harvard.edu\/canadian\/files\/2018\/09\/cropped-Flag-Image-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orgs.law.harvard.edu\/canadian\/files\/2018\/09\/cropped-Flag-Image.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canadians are a well-represented group at Harvard Law.
