Letter to Legal Aid Ontario
From June 9th – July 9th, 2023, Legal Aid Ontario (LAO) held an open consultation on tariff increases for lawyers. Luke’s Place submitted a letter to LAO’s Consultation department in response to the proposal to reform tariffs for the lawyers on their panel. Overall, we are supportive of the proposed amendments, but strongly encourage legal aid to do more to address the widespread gaps in legal representation for survivors of violence.
The letter was endorsed by 9 women’s organizations across the province.
