About Community Legal Aid Windsor

Community Legal Aid is a legal clinic in Windsor, Ontario, run as a joint project between the University of Windsor's Faculty of Law and Legal Aid Ontario. The clinic has operated in that partnership for over 50 years, serving as both a training ground for law students and a legal resource for Windsor-Essex. Law students staff the clinic under the supervision of licensed lawyers and a Review Counsel, who screens matters before a file opens, and the students handle client intake, representation, and public legal education workshops.

The clinic's mission is to promote access to justice for low-income and vulnerable people. It serves financially eligible low-income residents of Windsor and Essex County, along with full-time undergraduate students at the University of Windsor. Its areas of help include provincial offences, certain criminal charges such as theft or assault, tenant and small claims disputes, elder law matters, employment standards, summary family law advice for parents and guardians, and academic misconduct appeals for students. The clinic also offers commissioning and notarization services by appointment.
