The Access to Justice Program was adopted by the Law Society membership during its 2014 Annual General Meeting. The vision of this Program aims to build connections by using a collaborative approach to better respond to the legal needs and interests of all Nunavummiut.
The Law Society is committed to connecting Nunavummiut to relevant resources and information that will help increase their understanding of their rights and get the legal help they need. This will be achieved by providing access to public legal education and information resources, as well as undertaking research and public awareness campaigns regarding legal initiatives relevant to Nunavummiut.
The program offers support to Nunavummiut and all non-insured members under the Law Society’s group insurance, who are covered for the purposes of work performed pro bono under the Access to Justice Program.
