If you're facing a dilemma with legal dimensions and you don't know who to turn to for advice, a good first step would be the McGill Legal Information Clinic, located in the basement of the University Centre on McTavish. Open weekdays between 9 am and 5 pm, the clinic is staffed by McGill law students who provide information on a wide range of legal situations. He says Quebec is stricter in that regard than most provinces. About 175 law students volunteer at the clinic over the course of a year. They deal with about 10,000 queries on an annual basis.
Students arrive in Montreal, find out their apartments are terrible and wonder what they can do.
The clinic also plays a vital role in student disciplinary and grievance cases, supplying legal advisors to students facing charges of wrongdoing or pursuing gripes against the University. It sees us as an important part of that whole process. The clinic operates its own radio show on CKUT 90.3 FM called Legal Ease. We deal with topical issues. Anyone wishing to get in touch with the clinic can call 398-6792.
