Public Legal Education and Information in Canada

The main goal of public legal education and information (PLEI) organizations is to create an informed citizenry that is knowledgeable about the law, able to recognize and exercise their lawful rights, fulfill their legal obligations, and perform their duties as participants in a democratic society.

Each organization listed below sets its own mandate, goals, and means of delivering information. In general, PLEI organizations offer information about the laws specific to the province or territory in which they operate.  For legal information relevant to your situation, you may want to consult the PLEI organization in your province or territory.
