This legal resource database provides practical details and contact information for legal resources accessible in English in the Historical Eastern Townships; such as law firms and independent lawyers, notaries and mediators, provincial and federal support programs, free legal information sources, etc. This database is made possible through the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) and the Educaloi Community Mobilization Project, and is funded by the government of Canada.

Public Legal Aid/Support Services

The Legal Aid Program is a cost-shared program funded by the federal government, and in collaboration with provincial/territorial governments, that promotes access to legal information, representation, and justice for people in disadvantaged economic situations.

Justice Pro Bono is a non-profit organization whose mission is to mobilize the legal community to provide expertise and time to individuals and non-profit organizations in Québec that lack the resources required to access legal services. Their website provides support information on some legal topics, free and low-cost legal resource information and information on free public Justice Pro Bono services.
