Vic law project aids northern residents with legal advice
The Peace River Summer Student Legal Advice Project reported strong success in its first year at the University of Victoria. In Chetwynd the need appeared greater per capita, possibly due to the mobile van setup. Next year a storefront may replace the van while the program plans to return. The project served northerners lacking adequate legal services, with 46 family dispute cases and many immigration, debt, tax, real estate, wills, consumer, and landlord tenant matters across 300 interviews.
