Samuel Loeb

“I improved my legal research and analysis skills, and learnt about how to identify legislative gaps. I became very familiar with the issue of child sexual exploitation itself, and how extensive and widespread a problem it is, even in Canada and the rest of the West. The highlight of my internship was dealing with the actual circumstances of countries’ laws as they stand now, as opposed to just researching and studying past decisions, like we do in law school. I was given the opportunity to study the present situation in a country and make actual recommendations of how they need to improve their legislation in order the combat the issue in their country.”
