October 27 is Duty Counsel Day across Canada.
Duty counsel are legal aid lawyers who give free, on-the-spot legal advice in family, criminal and immigration cases for people living in Canada.
In Alberta, duty counsel lawyers are providing legal assistance and advice in some 75 communities.
Show your support. Tell your colleagues, peers, friends and family about Duty Counsel Day, and their right to access free legal support and services.
