Future Lawyers

What Future Lawyers does

Future Lawyers International (FLI) is a Canadian-registered not-for-profit organization founded in 2019 and headquartered in Toronto, dedicated to educating youth about careers in the legal industry. It delivers pre-law programming through four international chapters (Toronto, Atlantic Canada, Singapore, California) and a roughly 46-person student volunteer base that is led primarily by undergraduate and high-school-aged coordinators under Co-founder and Chair Lauren Koek.

Its core offerings are educational rather than commercial: a free Legal Terminology Certification Program built on video lectures and quizzes that require an 80% pass rate and integrate with Ontario's Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) curriculum; a video course library covering law school applications, corporate law, Indigenous rights, international human rights, and related topics; an editorial blog and interview series featuring practicing lawyers and law students; moot court competitions; and ticketed in-person conferences such as the Be the Change Conference and the upcoming Future Lawyers Conference 2026 Singapore. The technical stack is a standard web-based learning platform (Wix-hosted) with video content, quiz modules, and certificate generation, rather than a proprietary AI or adaptive-learning system.

Future Lawyers' business model is non-commercial: the organization is funded through sponsorships and grants from a concentrated base of major Canadian law firms (Blake, Cassels & Graydon; Borden Ladner Gervais; Cassels Brock & Blackwell; Falconer LLP), federal-level partners (Government of Canada, RisingYouth), and corporate sponsors, supplemented by ticket revenue from occasional paid conferences. Its primary end users are high-school and university students exploring legal careers, with high-school teachers using the certification program as supplemental academic material, and law students participating as panelists and content contributors.

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• 7Sage: 7Sage is an online LSAT prep and law school admissions platform offering video courses, practice questions, and admissions consulting. It targets pre-law and prospective law students with similar educational content (videos, quizzes, structured curriculum) but at a more advanced, monetized stage of the pre-law journey.
• JD Advising: JD Advising provides law school admissions consulting, personal statement editing, and law school prep materials. It addresses a similar target audience (aspiring law students) but focuses on the admissions and academic stages rather than early-career exploration that Future Lawyers targets.
• iMiniLaw (Pre-law Student Communities): Online communities such as r/lawschooladmissions and pre-law campus societies serve the same aspiring-lawyer youth audience with peer advice, mentorship, and resource sharing. These informal communities compete for the same attention and engagement that Future Lawyers seeks to capture through its structured programs and conferences.
• Law School Transparency: Law School Transparency is a nonprofit that provides data-driven analysis of law school employment outcomes, tuition, and admissions. It serves a similar pre-law audience with career and admissions information, but its value proposition is empirical data rather than youth-focused community events.

Direct peers

• Lawcrossing: Lawcrossing is a legal job aggregation and career resource platform serving aspiring and current legal professionals. It overlaps with Future Lawyers' career exploration use case but focuses on the job-search stage rather than early pre-law education.
• Vault (Firsthand): Vault provides insider career guides, employer rankings, and interview prep primarily for law, consulting, and finance careers. It is directly comparable to Future Lawyers' blog content (interviews with legal professionals, career guidance for aspiring lawyers) and serves overlapping pre-law and law student audiences.

Broad incumbents

• Above the Law: Above the Law is a media publication covering the legal industry, with significant content on law careers, law school, and legal hiring. It overlaps with Future Lawyers' blog content and serves both pre-law and current law students, but as a broader legal industry media outlet.
• LexisNexis Legal Education: LexisNexis provides legal research and educational tools used heavily in law school curricula. While it targets a more advanced stage (current law students), it represents a major incumbent in legal education content and credentials.
• Law School Admission Council (LSAC): LSAC is the nonprofit organization that administers the LSAT and manages law school admissions. It is a broad incumbent in pre-law education and admissions, serving a more advanced stage of the pre-law journey than Future Lawyers but operating in the same general legal career preparation space.
• Khan Academy (Pre-law and Career Content): Khan Academy is a broad free educational platform offering video courses, quizzes, and certification-style credentials. While not legal-specific, it competes for the same youth student attention that Future Lawyers targets with its free video-based certification program and structured learning model.
