Client Gateway, an alternate way for lawyers to help new and existing clients apply for coverage from Legal Aid Alberta, is about to expand to include all areas of law LAA covers.
At present, Client Gateway is only in use by criminal lawyers for their clients. But starting in June, lawyers practicing family, child welfare, child representation and immigration law will be able to help clients apply for coverage through the Client Gateway.
Training will be provided following launch – stay tuned.
The update originally scheduled for May 8 has been postponed to May 14.
The following LAA systems will now be unavailable during the times indicated below on Wednesday, May 14, as we prepare for the Client Gateway expansion in June:
- Client Gateway: 12 p.m. to 12 midnight
- DC Portal: 3:30 p.m. to 12 midnight
- Lawyer Portal: 5 p.m. to 12 midnight
