All of our services are free, confidential and bilingual. The Alberta Legal Information Centre team is available to assist you in person or remotely during our business hours to offer you:

• in-person meetings

  A legal information officer is available by appointment to meet with you during business hours, take the time to understand your situation and provide you with the appropriate legal information.

• telephone or email consultation

  You can also meet with a legal services agent by telephone, at a toll-free number, or by email.

• Notary Public and Commissioner for Oaths services

  If you have documents that need to be witnessed under oath (such as affidavits, testimonies for a hearing, proxies) a commissioner for oaths and notary public is available by appointment to provide you with this free service.

• referral to a bilingual francophone lawyer

  We can refer you to a bilingual lawyer whose practice is near your place of residence and whose specialization corresponds to your needs.

• referral to organizations in Alberta that can help you

  Our knowledge of the legal issues in Alberta allows us to direct you to resources related to your situation, be it a legal aid, administrative tribunal or any community organization-related matter.

• workshops and information sessions on various law-related topics

  If you wish to attend a workshop in French related to the objectives of your organization or the interests of close relatives, gather a group of at least seven persons and advise us of your legal interests. We can travel to deliver the information session requested.

• legal information brochures, resources and information tools in French

  We are constantly updating and improving various brochures, booklets and online tools to increase the legal knowledge of the francophone community in Alberta. Check out our many publications and do not hesitate to ask us to send you copies for distribution in your area.

• computer resources to facilitate your research

  Does the legal issue you are dealing with require research time? Several self-serve computers as well as a fax machine, printer and scanner are available for use during business hours.

No eligibility criteria; all Alberta residents can benefit from services of the Centre, regardless of income or nature of their legal issue. Our team is there to assist you in person or remotely (via courier, email, fax or toll-free telephone) during business hours.
