Canadians benefit from outstanding social services. We’re all familiar with our public health care, but few know about our legal services.
We made a day to change that.
October 27 is Duty Counsel Day, a nationwide initiative led by Legal Aid Plans of Canada to recognize the essential role duty counsel lawyers play in helping people navigate the justice system and access legal support when they need it most.
Across Canada, duty counsel assist more than 1.7 million people each year in courthouses, by phone and through virtual services. They help individuals understand court procedures, resolve legal issues more effectively and move through the justice system with greater confidence and support.
