Attire rental pilot project promotes inclusivity and eco-responsibility in legal recruitment
McGill Law’s Career Development Office (CDO) is pleased to announce a collaboration with Loue 1 Robe / Loue 1 Tux. Through this partnership, we are launching an innovative pilot project that will allow students to rent professional attire for interviews and networking activities at an affordable price. Quebec-based company Tristan will provide the clothing.
This initiative is in line with several of the CDO's objectives, which includes fostering the inclusion of students from all walks of life as well as assisting with their entry into the profession.
The project was officially launched on November 15 with the support of Montreal and Toronto law firms Blakes, Borden Ladner Gervais, Goldwater Dubé, McCarthy Tétrault, McMillan, Norton Rose Fulbright Canada, Osler, and Stikeman Elliott. This year, their generous financial support will enable 65 McGill Law students to rent clothes at a reasonable price and receive a personalized service.
