In law school, Jordan focused her studies exclusively on criminal law. In 2018, Jordan was one of two winners of the Coughlin Criminal Law Moot held at the University of Alberta. In 2019, she participated in the Western Canada Criminal Trial Advocacy Moot (the MacIntyre Cup), where she competed against students from law schools across western Canada.

She was also involved with the University of Alberta’s chapter of OUTLaw, an organization directed at serving and aiding LGBTQ+ law students and allies. Currently, Jordan sits on the Board of Directors for the Edmonton Youth Justice Society, and the Criminal Trial Lawyers’ Association.
