We are a not-for-profit organization that funds the Law Society of Manitoba, Legal Aid Manitoba, and many other law and justice-related programs that support the public with legal education, research, law reform and legal aid services.
If you have an intellectual disability, we offer an alternative justice program with education and around-the-clock support and supervision for those who have been in conflict with the law. We have residential and day programs available.
If you are appealing a Manitoba Public Insurance decision regarding a bodily injury claim, we can support you by explaining the decision to you, launching an investigation if necessary, and appearing in front of the Automobile Injury Compensation Commission (AICAC) on your behalf.
We are a law reform agency working to improve, modernize and reform the law and administration of justice in Manitoba. We do not provide legal advice, but we accept suggestions for future projects and initiatives.
We provide advocacy, support and resources for women in the provincial and federal justice system, with an emphasis on Indigenous women. Our programs include court support, bail verification and supervision, anger management, transitional housing and more.
If you're a Manitoban looking for legal information and resources, we offer advice and lawyer referrals over the phone and can recommend relevant legal workshops and programs across the province.

If you are Indigenous and currently involved with CFS, we can advocate for you and connect you with supports for children or other family members.
If you're living with a disability, our Individual Advocacy Program gives our clients the tools to successfully and independently advocate for themselves. We provide information and guidance on clients' rights to essential and social services, home care, human rights, and tenant and housing rights.
Our initiative works to meet the legal information needs of incarcerated Manitobans and has created a physical and digital collection. Through partnerships with other community organizations, we identified key resources and areas of need, and offer content like FAQs to address them.
