Clinic staff are busy preparing our Annual Report of significant work we completed over the past year—certainly a challenging year! Read it online on our website in December or ask us to mail you a copy.

We are a non-profit legal clinic. We offer free legal help to people living on a low income in Hastings, Prince Edward, and Lennox & Addington counties and Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, in southeastern Ontario.  Please call us if you need help, or reach us by mail or email (contact form on our Contact Us page).  We are currently closed to walk-ins until further notice and there are no in-person appointments. However, all our regular services are available to you by phone and we will figure out how best to help you. Thank you for your patience during this difficult time.

Our Fall newsletter, Bafflegab, is out!  Read about how we might orchestrate a “just recovery” from the pandemic and consider how the legal profession might help.

Articles include information about changes to the law for tenants, new programs for unemployed workers, our upcoming virtual Justice Cafés, including advocating for a just recovery and better income security, and a National Housing Day event with an opportunity to discuss a just recovery and creating more affordable housing.

See our COVID-19 page for a list of links to credible information and resources on COVID-19, including local resources for people living in our service area.

We are currently closed to walk-ins but we are still available by phone or our online Request for Legal Advice form to help you with your legal problems.  Please call or email us!
