Legal Aid – Centre communautaire juridique des Outaouais
Organisation profile
Legal aid is a government legal service offered to people who meet certain financial eligibility criteria and apply for the service. Legal aid is provided free of charge or with a contribution from the recipient. Every year, legal aid provides thousands of Québecers with access to justice and the means to defend their rights. Legal aid services are provided by lawyers and, on occasion, by notaries. Lawyers are responsible for counselling their clients and representing them before the courts. Depending on the client’s preference, these services are provided either by lawyers who are permanent employees of the legal aid network or by lawyers in private practice.
Services
Service public de conseils et de représentation à la cour, offert aux personnes admissibles financièrement et qui demandent un service couvert. Les services généralement couverts sont les affaires familiales, la protection de la jeunesse, la représentation des jeunes contrevenants, les poursuites pour un acte criminel, les demandes relatives à des prestations d’aide-sociale, d’assurance-emploi, d’assurance-automobile, et d’accidents du travail. L’aide juridique peut aussi être accordée dans d’autres situations si la sécurité de la personne, sa liberté ou ses moyens de subsistance sont en jeu. Certains cas particuliers ne sont pas couverts par l’aide juridique. Référez-vous à notre site internet pour plus d’informations.
