Nova Scotia Legal Aid
Legal Aid may provide a lawyer to someone who could not otherwise afford one. To be eligible for the service, an applicant must be receiving Social Assistance Benefits or be in an equivalent financial position. It must also be determined that there is some merit in the case and that the applicant will receive some benefit if service is provided. Legal services are provided mainly in the areas of family and criminal law.
