Tuesday January 26th at 6pm EST

The Chinese and Southeast Asian Legal Clinic (CSALC) is a community based legal clinic funded by Legal Aid Ontario which provides free legal services to low income, non-English speaking clients from the Chinese, Vietnamese, Laotian and Cambodian communities in Ontario.

In addition to providing direct legal services, CSALC empowers the communities through public legal education. Over the years, many people have attended the education workshops and have received the multi-lingual brochures CSALC produces on various areas of the law.

Advocating for law reform is another priority of CSALC. CSALC has been involved in test case litigation, organizing grassroots campaigns, and making numerous submissions to all levels of government and to international human rights bodies to advance the rights of CSALC’s clients and the broader communities of disadvantaged groups.
