Thank you for choosing to volunteer with the Community Legal Clinic. We appreciate your time and dedication. We owe the success of our programs to people like you who graciously give their time and expertise to help others in need. Thank you!
For Firms and Individual Lawyers:
Summary
At the Community Legal Clinic we offer confidential legal information, advice, advocacy, and potentially representation in a positive, inclusive, and supportive environment at no cost to the clients. Additionally, in order for clients to meet with a volunteer lawyer they must meet our financial guidelines to be booked for an appointment.
We serve Central Alberta, as well as Lloydminster, Medicine Hat, and Fort McMurray.
Clinic Program:
Our clinic program utilizes the donated time of our volunteers to offer summary legal advice to clients who qualify. Furthermore, these individual appointments are 30-45 minutes long and the clinic itself is roughly 2 hours long. Appointments are normally conducted over the phone so you can easily give clients the information and next steps for their situation. Documents are provided to you in advance.
Other Programs:
We also offer other programs such as legal presentations, Ask-A-Lawyer clinics, and more.
LESA Partnership
