We provide easy-to-understand legal answers written in plain language. Legal Line is a Federal not-for-profit organization providing access to Canadian laws since 1993. Educating the public about the law is a necessary step in advancing Access to Justice.
Our 2,500 answers give people the power and confidence they need to make informed decisions that affect everyday life. Organized under 50 areas of law, our answers allow people to easily zero-in on the specific answers they need. Those who need further help are referred to experts — lawyers, paralegals, government offices, and other professionals.
Since 2018, Legal Line has been a proud participant of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals action campaign. We have created specific objectives and systems to meet the Canadian public’s need for Access to Justice today and in the future.
Our social and economic sustainability objectives are:
As of 2019, advertising & sponsorship became options on Legal Line. This outsourced-funding model allows us to better serve our Users in need of referrals, and achieve our sustainable development goals without diverting government funds from other vital services, while still maintaining our services and providing them free to the public.
I am excited to announce that having achieved our objectives, Legal Line is now poised for ‘Recognition of excellence in Public Service‘ by the United Nations Public Service Awards Committee.
