Providing access to legal services…
...when there's not enough money in her piggy bank for her mom to pay
The CBA believes everyone should have the right to a lawyer, regardless of their ability to pay. We've been fighting for decades to ensure all Canadians receive adequate access to justice, including Legal Aid services.
But we cannot do it alone - we need your support. Your CBA membership fees support policy reviews, legal aid programs and new approaches to the delivery of legal aid in Canada.
And it doesn't stop there, as CBA's work includes advocacy to help lawyers too, like our Conflicts of Interest Task Force, Lawyers' Professional Interests and Solicitor-Client Privilege, which serve to protect your day-to-day interests and promote the rule of law.
