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.
If you qualify financially, we can provide you with legal services in a rage of areas including public interest (through The Public Interest Law Centre), family law, immigration and refugee services, residential tenancies, child protection, mental health, government benefits and criminal law. Our staff and private bar lawyers regularily travel to over 40 communities surrounding major cities in Manitoba.
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.
We provide services primarily to Indigenous offenders and ex-offenders to help them reintegrate into the community. Our programming begins while a person is still incarcerated and involves employment training, community support and advocacy.
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.
