JUSTICE PARTNERSHIP INITIATIVE PROGRAM

This program provides free independent legal information and advice to ANSJI’s target population. The program helps people navigate informal and formal legal processes in Nova Scotia, with a focus on human rights, employment discrimination, and policing issues. ​

​

The program helps provide access to justice for people navigating legal and quasi-legal bodies such as the Office of the Police Complaints Commissioner, local police boards, the Commission for Public Complaints against the RCMP, and making applications to the Human Rights Commission of Nova Scotia or the Canadian Human Rights Commission. ​

​

The staff lawyer also oversees initiatives related to public legal education and support. ANSJI seeks to partner with relevant organizations and institutions to create self-help guides and pre-recorded advice sessions, co-host workshops, lectures, and engagement opportunities, and youth-led programming and peer training.
