In addition to representing LAA clients, staff lawyers provide a wide range of other legal services including;

• Duty Counsel services in Youth Criminal Court
• Representing claimants at Emergency Protection Order reviews

• Assisting inmates at the Bowden Federal Correctional Institution before the administrative tribunal
• Providing community members with legal advice at a free weekly walk-in legal clinic.

Free Walk-in Legal Clinic

The Central Alberta Law Office (CALO) runs a free legal clinic each Tuesday at 1:30pm at their office. The clinic is operated on a first come, first serve basis. Clients do not have to qualify for legal aid beforehand. They are offered approximately 20 minutes with a lawyer to discuss their issue.  If they then decide that they need legal representation for their issue, they can apply to LAA for coverage or retain a lawyer privately.
