Finding Legal Help
The following is a non-exhaustive list that may be periodically updated of organizations that offer legal information, advice, and/or representation, including public organizations, legal aid, legal clinics, and pro bono. It is intended for general informational purposes only. While the Tax Court of Canada supports pro bono work (free legal services), its role and involvement in such initiatives have to be limited in order to ensure impartiality. Please refer to our guidelines for more details.
