Our Services - Community Development

Developing and Distributing Legal Education Materials

We believe providing access to legal information helps to level the playing field for our client community.  Over the years we've developed a lot of written information including:

  •  a guide for living on a low income

  •  self-help kits

  •  pamphlets

  •  information and tip sheets

  •  the clinic's newsletter Bafflegab

  •  legal information videos for the deaf

Information about legal rights must be constantly updated as law changes. You should always make sure the material you are relying on is current!  Sometimes we adapt materials from other sources with permission, like the Self-Advocacy Guide we originally obtained from an American legal clinic.

Developing this website as a legal education tool has been a new and interesting challenge.  We are experimenting with blogs and twitter.  We also advise the CLEONet web site - a wonderful online resource to legal education materials from all over Ontario and beyond.
