Legal clinic
The Interligne team now offers a legal clinic service offered to members of the LGBTQ+ community. To do this, we are looking for people studying law or working in the field of law with an interest in volunteering in a community organization, in order to respond to the calls and emails that the clinic will receive.
Volunteering at the legal clinic can be done in two ways: through attendance at the call-in legal clinics in Montreal, or as part of the expert network.
Attendance during call-in legal clinics
To get involved in this way, please note that, as the clinics are held on Interligne’s premises, the person must reside in Montreal, or have the opportunity to go there.
Tasks
- Respond to calls to identify the legal issue raised and respond, if possible, by providing appropriate legal information;
- Refer to appropriate services depending on the area of law;
- Keep a call log;
- Pass on more complex issues or one’s requiring legal advice to a member of the expert network;
- Perform any other task related to researching and developing informative content.

The network of expert references is made up of professionals such as Bar lawyers or registered notaries, who actively practice law.
