We would like to remind all of
our clients and NAN members that our Community
Legal Workers now have a tool to help them provide you with better service.
Nishnawbe-Aski Legal Services and ProBono Law Ontario launched the "Ask a Lawyer" website
almost a year ago. While it is still in its initial stages, this site helps the
CLWs write down any legal questions you have asked them and then have them
forwarded to a panel of volunteer lawyers who specialize in certain legal fields
such as:
- Family
Law
- Criminal
Law
- Child
welfare
- Youth Justice
- Aboriginal
and Treaty Rights
- Employment
Contracts
- Landlord/Tenant
Issues
- Consumer
Law
- Senior's
Legal Issues
- Administrative
Law (i.e. Birth Certificates)
All of this happens over the
internet. This will allow our CLWs to get answers to your questions faster than
ever before!
In addition, we also have a
monthly legal advice column featured in the Wawatay Newspaper. Please take a
look if you get the chance! Also, if you have any questions you wish to submit
to either the Ask-A-Lawyer website or for the Wawatay, please feel free to
e-mail me at . All questions
are posted anonymously.
CLWs can click on this link to access the website: http://askalawyer.nanlegal.on.ca/
