Government and Agency Partner Testimonials
As founder of the Access to Justice Research Network, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Law at Thompson Rivers University in British Columbia, Andrew Pilliar’s interest in access to justice extends both to how people find and obtain legal services, and also how legal service providers can deliver services in more accessible ways. To the founders of Legal Line, Andrew wrote:
“Congratulations to you and Antree for the recent awards, and for your work to improve access to justice. You’ve been walking the walk on access to justice for a very impressive amount of time… (would like to) connect to chat about your experiences and your vision for A2J in Canada in the future.”

I learned about Legal Line through a searth for LINC materials for my advanced second language students at Fleming College. I intend to use Legal Line as a borrowable resource for our six classes for newcomers to Canada. This publication will greatly enhance our students’ understanding of legal concepts in Canada and where to find supportive materials and information.

My co-worker ordered the booklets and gave a wonderful lesson to her CLB 5 class. I need to provide one guide to each student to choose one area, do research and present the results to the class. My clients are newcomers to Canada, and they sometimes have problems with their landlords or employers.

I use your materials to teach Canadian Law to both my civics and grade 11 law classes. The brochure is especially useful to show students the different types of law when explaining the difference between public and private law. My old brochures are well past their best before dates and it would be nice to have new ones. Thanks.

I work for TDSB and teach ESL to newcomers. I heard about Legal Line from the LINC curriculum book. I plan to distribute the book to my learners to that they can learn what their legal options are. As newcomers, it is very easy to fall victim, but if they are equipped with knowledge, then they can defend themselves, make better decisions, and know where to go in the event that they need legal assistance.

I was just reading about Legal Line which I had not (sorry) been aware of before. I am glad to be better informed now, because we can share and promote your page at the National Self-Represented Litigants Project.
If you would like to talk some time to discuss possible collaborations, I am very open to that. Your work is awesome.

We provide highly-motivated and well-trained law student volunteers, who are committed to providing free legal services and to assisting organizations with their law-related projects. We are eager to support your organization and to find you students whose interests and experience match your organization’s goals.

I learned about the flyer from a colleague who was kind enough to provide me with a copy. As I am presently doing a lesson on Canada’s legal system to a group of new Canadians, I will distribute the flyers in class. When I introduced my students to Legalline, they were excited and very appreciative of this free service as not all of them have sufficient funds to hire lawyers. It will become an invaluable resource for our classroom!

We are the student legal clinic for the University of Ottawa Faculty of Common Law. We were sent some information on Legal Line from Pardons Canada. The information in the Legal Line Guides will be of great benefit to our clients, who would otherwise not get answers to questions that they have in areas of law that are not covered by us, or other legal clinics in the Ottawa area.

Hello, I found one of your guides in the Community Recourses we have in the Employment Resource Centre and Was wondering if I am able to get a few copies of the flyer/rack card to put on our Community Support Board. Clients come into the resource centre looking for a job but tend to have other things going on in their lives, so we provide some information for them to take with them should they need it. All of our services are free of charge and providing this information will always be free.

Our students are classified as “at-risk” and have had numerous legal encounters. Part of the law course I teach is to acquaint them with their Rights, and to engage them in discussion about their Rights and Responsibilities with respect to the laws of Ontario and Canada. Students are “street wise” but unskilled in understanding legal concepts and how they apply to them. This map is a perfect overview. They respect its appearance and its contents. Students range in age form 13 to 20. Thank you for producing such a powerful and meaningful portfolio of services. It is instrumental in helping me to transform these young lives.

McMaster currently has over 17,000 full and part-time students. The Ombuds office does not give legal advice but is routinely approached by students who need legal advice. The students are pleased to have access to an on-line resource and also appreciate the listing of relevant government numbers. I send copies of the brochure to offices all over campus and routinely receive requests for more. The University has an Information Desk where the brochure is prominently displayed. I would appreciate receiving 5,000 copies.

Our Centre will make the Guides available to the general public. They will be on display in our front reception area for everyone to see, and take. Keep up the good work.

Legal Line was recommended at a Legal Conference. The guides will be used as study guide and resource for our grade 11, 12 and OAC students. As a result of the dramatic budget cuts, additional resources have been difficult to obtain. As a result, the Legal Line resource will be most useful.

I believe that it is more important for the students to learn how to find answers to their own questions than for me to give them the answers. Your guide and access to the internet and/or telephone will make that possible. I heard about LegalLine.ca from my husband who is a cop in Toronto.
