Several LAA systems including the Lawyer Portal will be unavailable Friday, June 20, from 5 p.m. until 1 p.m. Saturday, June 21, in preparation for updates to the Client Gateway.
The Client Gateway is an alternate way for lawyers to help new and existing clients apply for Legal Aid Alberta coverage. LAA is expanding the Gateway to include all areas of law LAA covers.
Systems that will be impacted June 20:
- Client Gateway
- Lawyer Portal
- Lawyer Portal Application Form
- DC Portal
- Lawyer Directory
- Online Concerns Form
Once these systems are restored, roster lawyers with existing Gateway Access will be able to complete Gateway applications for clients facing family, child welfare, child representation and immigration issues.
We’re taking a phased approach to the rollout, prioritizing support and stability. Access will expand to family and immigration roster lawyers later this year.
