Over the past three decades,
SLS volunteers have taught and assisted
inmates at several correctional institutions, offered
“duty counsel” service
at rural court houses, published numerous books
and pamphlets, advocated for changes
to laws that adversely affect the poor, participated
on radio and television programs, helped individuals
file their income tax returns, provided
countless lectures and seminars, and
assisted hundreds of thousands of individuals with their
specific legal questions and problems.
SLS has now evolved into a well-established, familiar
part of both the legal and poverty communities in Edmonton,
and plays a vital role in familiarizing impoverished
people with their legal rights and helping
them to exercise those rights. It has also greatly
enhanced the educational experience of the thousands
of U of A law students that have volunteered their time.
