Legal Aid Saskatchewan provides accessible and professional legal services in criminal and family law to eligible people.
We are a publicly funded organization championing access to justice through professional legal services. Our team of staff lawyers and administration support adult and youth clients with criminal matters and family law issues. Full legal services are provided to clients who are financially eligible. Duty counsel service is provided to in-custody clients, regardless of financial status, at all 74 Provincial Courthouses and circuit points. Legal advice through the Brydges Line is available to those arrested or detained, regardless of financial status. Summary advice and information may be provided to anyone by a Legal Aid Saskatchewan lawyer about a wide range of matters if they involve no more than a brief interview or telephone call.
Legal Aid Saskatchewan has 14 offices throughout the province in the communities of Saskatoon, Regina, Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, Swift Current, North Battleford, Melfort, La Ronge, Meadow Lake, Yorkton and Estevan.
The Legal Aid Act and The Legal Aid Regulations provide the legislative mandate for The Saskatchewan Legal Aid Commission, also known as Legal Aid Saskatchewan.
We have been proud supporters of access to justice since 1974.
