"He was a big support," said Takkiruq, recalling the four years he spent going through the Nunavut Law Program in Iqaluit. "I wouldn't have been able to make it here without [that] support." "If you think age matters, it doesn't really. As long as you have the knowledge, as long as you're confident in yourself and that you have people around you, that's the important part," said Takkiruq, who is from Gjoa Haven and who has spent the past six years in Iqaluit.

"It was sometime around that period where I started realizing, I could make this my career. I could see myself doing this for the rest of my life."The Nunavut Law Program was a four-year program run by the University of Saskatchewan in partnership with Nunavut Arctic College. For its first three years, Stephen Mansell was the program's executive director.

He said those who haven't been called to the bar yet are articling at different legal firms or have gone on to do work with governments and Inuit organizations.
