New Legal Services Law in Saskatchewan: What You Need to Know

Great news for Saskatchewan residents! Starting today, a new law is making it easier for people to access legal services. The changes to The Legal Profession Act, 1990, allow non-lawyers to provide specific legal services after being reviewed and licensed. This means more folks can get the help they need without the usual obstacles.

Justice Minister Tim McLeod shares that access to justice is crucial for strong communities and families. With this new law, more legal professionals can support people in areas like small claims, family law, wills, and even helping those who choose to represent themselves in court.

The process for these limited licenses is in the works, so if you’re interested in learning more, check out the Law Society of Saskatchewan's website for updates!
