Fall 2024: Townshippers’ Association Legal Info Clinic is now available!
Free legal info clinic in English!
Thanks to a partnership with the Université de Sherbrooke, Townshippers’ Association is pleased to provide the community with free, easy and confidential access to legal information in English. Two students from the Law Faculty at the Université de Sherbrooke volunteer each semester to answer legal questions by phone, email and in person (by appointment only).
It is important to note that interns in our legal information clinic are students. They are not allowed by law to dispense advice or offer opinions; this is reserved for lawyers who have passed the bar exam. Students can provide information and refer people to practicing lawyers as well as other services such as Éducaloi.
How does it work?
The Legal Info Clinic serves its clients by email or phone. With your first contact you will be asked to provide your contact information and details about the situation you are seeking information about so that the volunteers can carry out the necessary research and verify the quality of the answer they prepare for you, which may take up to two weeks. Once the research is completed, the volunteers will contact you with a response.
