Why is sutton working with rebecca

Incredibly, I had the complete support of the law school in taking a leave of absence, and my time in Sudan only enriched my law school experience when I returned. Socially, it was difficult, because all of my 1L buddies had graduated when I got back. Another huge highlight for me in the JD program was working on the Indigenous Law Journal and being part of the first cohort to do a Certificate in Aboriginal Legal Studies. This opened up a whole new world of law, and social justice, for me.

This allowed me to enter into a PhD program at the London School of Economics, and to return to London where I had had such a good time as a grad student almost a decade earlier.

At the time, I was not making a conscious decision to become an academic for life. What motivated me, really, was that I had a specific problem I wanted to solve, and I thought I had a research question big enough to spend four years puzzling over. It was once I started working as a teaching assistant at the LSE that I truly discovered my love of teaching, which I think was there all along.

Above all, it was the people I met, including Professors, Admin staff and other students, during my time in law school who shaped my path. Working closely with Professor Kent Roach on a directed research project, for example, revealed to me the exciting and emancipatory possibilities of being a legal researcher. I also had an incredible experience working on an extended project with Renu Mandhane and Elizabeth Bingham at the IHRP on federally-sentenced women with mental health issues , which exposed me to the inside of Canadian prisons and allowed for collaboration with organizations such as Disabled Women's Network Canada, Native Women's Association of Canada and Elizabeth Fry.

Professor Martha Shaffer was always a generous sounding board for me, and inspired me through her teaching as well. I was also fortunate to have great summer gigs while a law student. I was bitten by the field bug while away on that trip, and I think that was a big reason why I pursued the job in Sudan with War Child.

I had a strong urge to work in a hands-on way, on the ground, on issues of rights and justice that are important to me. When I returned to law school after two years in Sudan, I was constantly struck by what an enormous privilege and responsibility it is to go to law school and be a lawyer.

After 2L, I had a fantastic summer at Lenczner Slaght, where I was surrounded by incredibly professional, competent and generous litigators who helped me grow.
