Description

Legal clinics in Canada may provide a variety of services, the most usual being free legal information, summary advice, coaching, and representation to low-income clients who meet certain eligibility criteria. Although one or more of these core services may exist in any given clinic, there is no national mandated model of service (in terms of either type or extent of service) for clinics in Canada. This study describes legal clinics in the country concerning funding and delivery models, profiles of clients and their legal needs, data collection, and measures put in place to serve clients in the context of COVID-19. Three methodologies explore the similarities and differences across the country: a literature review, an on-line scan of clinics, and interviews with key informants in all 13 jurisdictions.
