New Name, New Place, Same People, Same Priorities

Effective January 1^st 2012, the Legal Resource Centre has changed its operating name to the Centre for Public Legal Education of Alberta (CPLEA).

We believe our new name better reflects our identity and purpose as a public legal education (PLE) organization.

Visit us at our new location in the Ironwood building at:
#800, 10050 - 112 Street

LawCentral - Linking You to Legal Information, Education and Help

Friday, October 28, 2011

The Legal Resource Centre hosts LawCentral, a suite of three web portals: LawCentral Alberta, LawCentral Canada, and LawCentral Français.

What can LawCentral do for you?

LawCentral connects you to resources that will help you understand the legal system so that you know what to expect when dealing with a legal problem.

Find the legal issue you want to know more about in the section ‘Learn about Your Legal Problems’ or check out the list of ‘legal topics.’
If you are interested in learning more about the laws that apply to your situation, see the section ‘Know the Laws.’
Connect to organizations that provide services for Albertans in the section ‘Where to Find Help.’
Go to the ‘Resources for…’ section to see if any of the groupings of resources created for specific audiences apply to you.
See the ‘Preparing for Court’ section to learn more about court procedures and what to expect if you find yourself in court.

On LawCentral Canada and LawCentral Français:

a keyword search or Recherche par mot clé will lead you to the resources relevant to your selection and you are free to choose how the results display.
Site sections will lead you to resources that provide insight into the legal system and how it impacts you.

We welcome your feedback as we continue to refine and improve LawCentral further.

Thank you to the Alberta Law Foundation for funding this project to transform ACJNet into LawCentral.
