We surveyed legal aid lawyers, community legal workers and paralegals. We consulted with the legal profession and justice system participants at conferences and meetings of the CBA Council. The CBA prepared five research and discussion papers which were circulated broadly to justice system participants for comments
We also integrated results from town hall consultations held in British Columbia, Manitoba and Ontario and consulted with various communities living in marginalized conditions in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Local lawyers and community partners were instrumental in helping to organize and facilitate these consultations.
Volunteer law students with Pro Bono Students’ Canada also conducted video interviews with people on the street across Canada.
