Aleeyah Samuels

Law Clerk

Aleeyah joined Clarke Child and Family Law as a Junior Law Clerk in December 2023. She graduated from the University of Guelph with a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and Public Policy with a concentration in Family and Child Studies in 2018. Aleeyah furthered her education by pursuing a Master of Arts in Criminology and Criminal Justice Policy at the University of Guelph (2018-

2020). Her research focused on the over-representation of Indigenous populations in the criminal justice systems of Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Aleeyah has worked in civil litigation but has always been passionate about working in family law due to her educational background and volunteering with organizations such as the Region of Peel and Safe City Mississauga Crime Prevention. Aleeyah enjoys volunteering whenever she can, as it was through these organizations that she was able to assist with the Region of Peel Healthy Start Program for expectant mothers and children and volunteer as a Site Coordinator at Aspire – a pro bono after-school tutoring program available across priority neighbourhoods in Mississauga through Safe City Mississauga Crime Prevention. Alongside volunteering, Aleeyah also enjoys travelling and trying new cuisines.
