STUDENT RUN LEGAL CLINICS PROVIDE IMPORTANT SERVICES – “Law school clinics not only provide legal services to those who cannot otherwise afford them — a feat in its own rite given that clinic workers help tenants keep their homes, workers keep their jobs and parents keep their children. They are also key hubs for experiential learning, especially in areas where the access to justice crisis in Ontario has become most dire, such as housing and immigration. For law students across the province, an attack on our clinics is an attack on our future.”
