SITEMAP

Public legal education (PLE) began to take shape as a field of practice in Canada during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Since then hundreds of individuals and organizations have taken up the challenge of extending legal knowledge and skills to millions of Canadians. These efforts have been accompanied by research and reflection as the PLE community has worked to ground its practice in theory and its theory in practice.

The purpose of this website is to provide the PLE community and those who are interested in the development of PLE in Canada with a forum for sharing and further developing their understandings about this field. We welcome your comments and contributions. Please let us know what works for you and what more you would like to see on the site. Introduction | What is PLE? | PLE Practice | PLE Theory | PLE Policy
