Profiles of PLE organizations

PLE in Canada is marked in part by the organizations that have arisen in response to the need to better engage people with their legal system. Some organizations have lasted for only a few years where others have existed for decades. Those that have a longer history have sometimes gone through one or more transformations – often including a change of name.
