LSLAP provides free legal advice and representation to low-income individuals across the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. LSLAP offers the unique opportunity to gain clinical experience in 1L! Volunteers gain practical experience in a variety of areas of law, including criminal defence, employment, residential tenancy, consumer protection, human rights law, immigration and refugee law, and much more! Students attend clinics once every two weeks to do intake and interviews with clients. In the interim between clinics, students conduct legal research, meet with program supervising lawyers, and complete work on their files.
We will be hosting an info session on September 4 at 12:30 PM. Lunch will be provided!
For more information, or if you have questions, please contact Nicholas Krishan (operations@lslap.bc.ca), Emily Adams (DAL@lslap.bc.ca) or Paul Jon (PR@lslap.bc.ca).
Please note that attendance at the training sessions is required! Training sessions will be held from 12:30-2pm in the Franklin Lew Forum on these dates:
- September 7: Criminal Law Training Session
- September 10: Civil Law Training Session
- September 25: Outstanding Training Session
LSLAP SUMMER PROGRAM:
Students that actively participate in LSLAP throughout the school year qualify for full-time paid summer positions between May and August. Eligibility is restricted to persons under 30 years old that are Canadian citizens or permanent residents (as based on our funding restrictions).
LSLAP ELECTIONS:
Every year, LSLAP members vote for a new Student Executive team to lead the program for the coming year. Elections take place in November and results are announced at the Society’s Annual General Meeting.
