Currently, there are four types of legal problems covered by Legal Aid. Depending on a person's income, a contribution to the Legal Services Society may also be required before Legal Aid is granted. The Law Centre also provides advice, and in some cases representation, to persons with problems not covered by Legal Aid. Law Centre staff lawyers or articled students enrolled in the University of Victoria, Faculty of Law, Clinical Law Program provide advice and representation in these cases. If you wish to apply for Legal Aid in the Victoria area you should come to the Law Centre.
Appointments are on a drop-in basis.
