Mission Statement
“Our mission is to enable University of Alberta
law students to provide free legal information and assistance
to the low income community in Edmonton and to contribute
to legal reform and legal education efforts as they impact
on poverty law issues.” Belief
Statement
We believe that law students can provide legal information
and assistance to individuals who otherwise would be
unable to obtain assistance with legal problems.
We believe that law students gain valuable experience
by applying their education in assisting individuals
with legal problems.
We believe that law students must not attempt to do
legal work that should be done by a lawyer.

• Committed volunteers who are well trained,
properly supervised and fairly evaluated.
• A culture of sincere desire to help
people who qualify for our services without
passing judgement on the correctness of behavior
or lifestyle.
• Accurate and up-to-date reference and
research materials.
• Volunteers who contribute to the process
of advocating changes to laws which impact on
the low income community, and to
• Identify new areas of service.
