OTHER SERVICES

We also provide services in community development and law reform.  These services include active participation in a variety of community projects.  Staff participate in law reform activities, including the development of briefs and  legislative consultations.

HOW THE CLINIC WORKS

The legal clinic is managed by the Director of Administration and the Director of Legal Services.  They are accountable to a community Board of Directors, who set policies and guidelines on matters such as who qualifies for our services and what services will be offered by the legal clinic.

Legal representation is provided by both lawyers and community legal workers.  Community legal workers have training in particular areas of law and work under the supervision of a lawyer.

If you are not sure whether your problem is a legal one or whether you qualify for our services, CALL US ANYWAY.  Even if we cannot help you, we will try to refer you to someone who can.
