LESA Incentive

We are happy to announce that we have partnered with LESA once again to offer a LESA incentive in 2025. Volunteers that complete 12 x 2-hour shifts (24 hours) in the 2025 calendar year are eligible for one free LESA webinar (up to $95).

Thank you all for your continued time and dedication in helping our clients and communities.

 

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.
