Queen’s Legal Aid plays a vital role in providing access to justice for low-income residents of Kingston, South Frontenac, and Lennox and Addington. As a clinical program of Queen’s University Faculty of Law, the clinic operates with a unique model where dedicated student caseworkers, supervised by experienced lawyers, handle client files. This ensures that every client receives thorough, high-quality representation while helping future lawyers gain practical experience.
