In light of McGill's decision to extend the winter break this year, the Clinic will now resume its operations on Thursday, January 7, 2021.

UPDATE: Due to McGill's decision to extend the winter break this year, the LICM will now be closed until January 7. We wish all our caseworkers and advocates the best of luck on their exams and happy holidays to all!

As usual, Student Advocacy will continue to take on cases deemed urgent after this date.

What do you think about Bill 75? Do you think law students in Quebec should be able to give legal advice? It would certainly help increase A2J!

The LICM will be closed for the McGill Faculty of Law’s Fall Focus Week from Monday, October 19 to Friday, October 23. We are closing our intake form and voicemail box by end of day in order to be able to wrap up all our current cases by then. But not to worry! If you have already filled out a form or left us a voicemail and haven’t heard back yet or you intend on submitting a case before 5:00 pm today, a caseworker will reach out to you today or next week to take on your case!

Congratulations to Me Alexander Pless for his nomination as judge on the Superior Court of Québec! Me Pless sat on the LICM's board of directors for over a decade, and we were fortunate to have him lecture our student volunteers on advocacy over the years.
