About

Emily Karpik knew she wanted to work in the courtroom long before she applied to law school. Now, in her third year of law school, Karpik has a clear vision of what she wants to do when she graduates. “It’s so different, hearing the translation from the actual proceeding. So I want to be able to really switch things around, essentially. I want to be able to do that. My dream is to complete my law school, practise in Inuktitut, and make change within our justice system. Not just the language portion, but also a lot more,” Karpik said.
