Community Legal Education

As part of our mission to make law more accessible to all, Shoalcoast offers Community Legal Education (CLE) to groups of community workers and members.
Our solicitors tailor their legal education to address the concerns of the audience. They aim to demystify the law to help the audience understand legal topics as they relate to them.​

Examples of Community Legal Education we offer are:

  • Planning Ahead – an overview of wills, powers of attorney, and guardianship tailored for Seniors
  • Family Law and Family Violence – explaining how the laws relating to domestic violence interact with the Family law system
  • Explaining ADVO’s and APVO’s
  • Victims Compensation – how to apply to victims services for counselling, immediate needs support, and recognition payment.
  • Scams – what they might look like and how to avoid them
  • Consumer Law – your rights when you buy a product or a service
  • Youth Law – laws that affect young people, including employment law and criminal law
  • COVID-19 and the Law – an exploration of how the COVID-19 laws have affected welfare entitlements, employment, tenancy, family law and credit and debt matters
