For over 40 years Community Legal Education Association (CLEA) has been providing public legal education programs to help Manitobans understand the legal system and how to resolve their legal issues. Our programs include a the Law Phone-In Program (the lawyers on staff provide legal information and summary advice), lawyer referral service, presentations, workshops, videos, webinars, plain language publications and a website.
Legal Help Centre (LHC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing access to justice and reducing barriers for low-income and underserved Manitobans. We provide free legal information, self-representation support, system navigation, and referrals to resources through our in-person Drop-in Clinic or telephone appointments.
If you're looking for an alternative solution to dispute resolution in the areas of non-profit business disputes, family disputes and community disputes, without the use of the court system—we can help. We offer multiple (and sometimes free) dispute resolution programs and webinars.
If you were injured at work and submitted a claim to the Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba, we can support you in understanding the process, advising your next steps, and helping you prepare for your hearing. We can also communicate with and appear before the WCB on your behalf.
We offer a full range of legal services to the Manitoban Francophone community, especially those with lower incomes, newcomers and racialized communities. Our services are in French and free of charge.
If you’re looking for support on legal matters involving Employment Insurance or Employment and Income Assistance, we offer free information, advice and representation.
