Dalhousie Legal Aid Service is a legal aid clinic based in the North end of Halifax and connected to the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University. It is comprised of community groups, law students, community legal workers and lawyers all working together. The mandate of Dalhousie Legal Aid is threefold: to provide services to low-income community members in need of legal assistance, to engage in community development and law reform work and to provide a meaningful educational experience for third year law students. It also does community outreach, public education, and lobbying to protect low-income individuals in Nova Scotia.
The clinic was the first legal service in Nova Scotia for low-income communities, getting its start in 1970 as a summer project of five Dalhousie law students. It is the oldest clinical law program in Canada and the only community law clinic in Nova Scotia.
