Our services in French

The Cornwall Legal Clinic is a designated bilingual agency under the French Language Services Act of Ontario as of July 1994. As such, the clinic has the obligation to actively offer services in French in all areas of law in which it provides services. More than a legal duty, it is a mandate that the clinic has given itself, based on the idea that the promotion of access to justice also involves the defense of language rights.

The clinic has a dedicated team of professionals who ensure that services are provided in French. This team is responsible for ensuring that our clients’ language rights are respected in all aspects of our work, from summary advice, to representation, to our services as commissioners of affidavits and notaries. All of our initiatives are bilingual to reflect our commitment. The team is also responsible for reporting to the French Language Services Sub-Committee of the Board of Directors on the quality of services provided.

Do not hesitate to contact us and ask for services in French!
