especially for low-income seniors,\u00a0\u00bb said John Lohr, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. \u00ab\u00a0I made a commitment to Nova Scotians to do whatever I can to ensure as many people as possible have access to safe and affordable housing, faster. We are looking at our programs and practices and making changes that will make a difference to Nova Scotians in need.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Effective today, October 10, Nova Scotia, with the support of the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), is changing the criteria used to determine seniors&rsquo; eligibility for the supplement and the formula for the amount they can receive.<\/p>\n<p>The criteria and formula had both used 95 per cent of the average market rent in the senior&rsquo;s area rather than the full amount. Now, 100 per cent of the average market rent is used, which means more seniors will qualify and the supplement increases.<\/p>\n<p>With the eligibility change, more than 100 low-income seniors could qualify for a supplement. Seniors who have previously applied to the program but did not qualify must reapply.<\/p>\n<p>Details regarding this program can be found at:\u00a0\u00a0<a

Gordon Murray, KC Award is Roger Burrill. The award is given based on Murray&rsquo;s legacy to recognize the impact a recipient has on the legal aid movement. The award recognizes that legal aid is a living evolving pillar of justice and fairness. Roger embodies the values of NSLA: excellence, respect, client focused, fearlessness and collaboration. The advocacy he has provided extends beyond this province and has had an impact across the country, including most recently his role as senior Commission Counsel for the Mass Casualty Commission. As Gordon said himself in an email response read to Roger on the evening of his award presentation, \u00ab\u00a0<em>Roger Burrill raises the bar for what the award is meant to be. Roger is a brilliant lawyer whose social conscience has formed his career. Roger is a modest man who uses his talents to fight for his clients and not to promote himself. Roger has added to the quality of Legal Aid.<\/em>\u00a0\u00bb Congratulations Roger!<\/p>\n<\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><div class='post_delimiter'><\/div><\/div><div class=\"post_author_timeline\"><\/div><span class='hidden'>\n\t\t\t\t<span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='url'>https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Roger-Burrill-Headshot.jpg<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='height'>1479<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='width'>2444<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"publisher\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='name'>Lisa Stokkeskog<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='logo' itemscope itemtype='https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='url'>https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/NSLA-FR-IDPMS-small-300x100.jpg<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><span itemprop='name'>Lisa Stokkeskog<\/span><\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"datePublished\" datetime=\"2022-11-14T13:12:45-04:00\" >2022-11-14 13:12:45<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"dateModified\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/dateModified\" >2022-11-14 13:12:45<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"mainEntityOfPage\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/mainEntityOfPage\" ><span itemprop='name'>2022 NSLA Commission R.

In-person appointments will occur only when the lawyer and client agree it is necessary.\u00a0 For this reason, please do not stop into any of our offices with a question regarding your matter but call instead. When you go to a Legal Aid Office please go alone if possible to minimize the number of people attending, and let us know in advance if you will be bringing someone with you.<\/p>\n<p>If you are attending an office in person for help or for a scheduled appointment here is what you can expect:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Signage asking you to self-screen for symptoms or other risk factors of COVID-19. If you are sick or have any symptoms, please do not come in, but leave and call the office for help.<\/li>\n<li>Signage indicating the maximum number of people who can be in a waiting room at one time. This will vary depending on the office so please check the sign and do not enter if others are in the waiting room.\u00a0 Call the front desk to let them know you are there.<\/li>\n<li>Markers on the floor indicating where you can safely stand while speaking to staff at the front desk.<\/li>\n<li>Hand washing or sanitizing will be mandatory for everyone entering our spaces. Supplies will be provided.<\/li>\n<li>Masks will be mandatory\u00a0for everyone without a medical condition preventing them from wearing <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">of<\/span> a mask when entering our offices. In some cases, the lawyer and client will be able to remove their masks once in the meeting room if it is large enough to allow social distancing.

NSLA further acknowledges that this is tied to a legacy of enslavement and segregation dating back hundreds of years.<\/p>\n<p>Issues of systemic racism and injustice are Canadian and Nova Scotian issues as well, as evidenced recently by the Wortley and MacDonald reports, and the continued over-incarceration of people of African descent and over-representation in child protection systems. NSLA recognizes that these are issues of fundamental human rights, not just issues of racialized people.<\/p>\n<p>Nova Scotia Legal Aid has committed to fighting systemic racism through our Mandate and Strategic Plan. Our Strategic Plan includes the following:<\/p>\n<p>Our commitment to enhancing access to justice with a focus on economically vulnerable and historically disadvantaged Nova Scotians continues. In meeting that commitment, we recognize the over-representation of Indigenous and African Nova Scotians in criminal and child protection systems and are, therefore, committed to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Responding to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission\u2019s Calls to Action as Nova Scotia Legal Aid has a key role to play as the front line in our family and criminal justice systems.<\/li>\n<li>Providing culturally responsive service to Indigenous and African Nova Scotian clients through the education of our staff and by bringing cultural impact to the forefront on matters before the courts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As an organization, we know making that statement is not enough and that we must act on it.\u00a0 We have a lot to still learn; we can and must do better.<\/p>\n<p>Nova Scotia Legal Aid offers support in many different ways, including through our African Nova Scotian Social Worker and ongoing cultural proficiency education to improve service offered and awareness of issues by our staff. In addition to family law, social justice and criminal law advice and representation, NSLA provides representation to African Nova Scotians who lack clear title to their historic land as part of the Land Title<span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">s<\/span> Initiative. NSLA\u2019s Equity &amp; Racial Diversity Committee works to support staff, advise the Executive, and ensure culturally safe and relevant service is offered to our clients. If you think we may be able to help you access better justice, please reach out.<\/p>\n<p>NSLA calls on our justice system partners to join us in identifying and speaking out against all forms of racism and bias; to educate themselves and their organizations on the ways racism and bias manifest and the impact of historic and present racism on individuals and communities; and to support and join African Nova Scotians and the Black Lives Matter movement in denouncing and eliminating racism and inequality.<\/p>\n<p>PDF Version:\u00a0 <a

For individuals not in custody, all trials and preliminary inquiries scheduled in June and July that involve an accused individual who is not in custody will be adjourned to a later date.

A representative will be in touch to confirm we can assist.\u00a0Please try to contact NSLA with your request <u>at least 2 days before your court date<\/u> so we can ensure that counsel is available and advised of your request.\u00a0While we will try to contact you with your new court date, <u>it will still be your responsibility to find out your new date<\/u> yourself by contacting NSLA or the courthouse where your case is being heard.<\/p>\n<p>Individuals without a confirmed lawyer to appear for them should not attend court in person and must contact the courthouse for instructions.

Current clients and new applicants may suddenly be facing a loss of income and have questions relating to accessing regular or sickness Employment Insurance Benefits, or the new Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB).<\/p>\n<p>At this time, individuals can apply for Legal Aid over the phone by calling their local office, or online at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/online-application\/\">https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/online-application\/<\/a>. They can also chat online with a Social Justice lawyer on Wednesdays from 3:00 to 5:00 PM.\u00a0 For more information on the Canada Emergency Response Benefit, please see below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who is eligible for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB)?<br \/>\n<\/strong>The benefit is intended for those who have lost employment or self-employment income because of COVID-19. This includes workers who have lost their job, are sick, quarantined, are taking care of someone who is sick with COVID-19, and working parents who must stay at home without pay due to school or daycare closures.<\/p>\n<p>Workers aged 15 and older who have stopped working because of COVID-19 and who will be expected to be without an income for at least 14 consecutive days are eligible for the CERB if they have had income of at least $5,000 in 2019 or in the 12 months prior to the date of their application.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do I need a certain number of hours to be eligible for the CERB?<br \/>\n<\/strong>No. Unlike regular EI benefits, the CERB does not require that applicants have worked a certain number of hours.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do I need to have earned a certain amount of income to be eligible for the CERB?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Yes. Applicants must have earned at least $5,000 in income in 2019 or in the 12 months prior to the date of their application. This income can be from employment, self-employment, maternity and parental benefits under the EI program and\/or similar benefits paid in Quebec under the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I apply for the CERB?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Individuals can apply online if they have registered for a Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) My Account or a My Service Canada Account. Otherwise they can apply over the phone with an automated phone service. Applications will open on Monday, April 6, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>In order to streamline the applications process, Service Canada has designated specific days for individuals to apply based on what month of the year in which they were born. Individuals are being encouraged to use the following guidelines to determine what day to apply for the benefit:<\/p>\n<table width=\"631\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"229\"><strong>If you were born in the month of<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"226\"><strong>Apply for CERB on<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"176\"><strong>Your best day to apply<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"229\">January, February or March<\/td>\n<td width=\"226\">Mondays<\/td>\n<td width=\"176\">April 6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"229\">April, May or June<\/td>\n<td width=\"226\">Tuesdays<\/td>\n<td width=\"176\">April 7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"229\">July, August or September<\/td>\n<td width=\"226\">Wednesdays<\/td>\n<td width=\"176\">April 8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"229\">October, November or December<\/td>\n<td width=\"226\">Thursdays<\/td>\n<td width=\"176\">April 9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"229\">Any month<\/td>\n<td width=\"226\">Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays<\/td>\n<td width=\"176\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Do I need to get a ROE from my employer to apply for the CERB?<br \/>\n<\/strong>No. You do not need a Record of Employment (ROE) to apply for the CERB. You will need to know your Social Insurance Number (SIN) and postal code in order to verify your identity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long will I have to wait before I start receiving payments?<br \/>\n<\/strong>After you have applied for the CERB, you should receive your first payment within 3 business days if you have signed up for direct deposit. If you haven\u2019t signed up for direct deposit, you can expect to receive your first payment within 10 business days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much money will I receive?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Applicants who are eligible for the CERB will receive $500 per week for a 4-week period. The amount for the 4-week period will be paid to you as a single payment of $2,000.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long does the benefit last?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Once you apply, you will receive the benefit for 4 weeks. After the initial 4-week period, if you are still without work, you can re-apply for another 4-week period, up to a maximum of 16 weeks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if I\u2019m still receiving some income from employment\/self-employment but it\u2019s been reduced because of COVID-19? Am I still eligible for the CERB?<br \/>\n<\/strong>You may be eligible for the CERB if you have earned $1,000 or less in employment and\/or self-employment income for 14 or more consecutive days in the first 4-week benefit period of your claim. For subsequent claims, you cannot have earned more than $1,000 in employment and\/or self-employment income for the entire 4-week benefit period of your new claim.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My employer hasn\u2019t laid me off, but I don\u2019t have any hours and have not been receiving any income, am I eligible for the CERB?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Yes. Even if you are still technically employed, but you aren\u2019t working due to COVID-19 restrictions, you can apply for the CERB. You must have no employment income for 14 consecutive days during the initial 4-week period.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I apply for the CERB even if I\u2019m eligible for regular or sickness EI benefits?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Yes. If you became eligible for EI regular or sickness benefits on March 15, 2020 or later, your EI claim will automatically be processed as a CERB claim.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if I select the wrong benefit category when I apply for EI? Can I change or update my application?<br \/>\n<\/strong>If you have applied for regular or sickness EI benefits on or after March 15, 2020 but lost work due to COVID-19, then your application will be automatically processed as a CERB application. If you would be entitled to more than the CERB amount under regular EI benefits you will not get the higher amount. You will retain your eligibility for regular benefits after you stopped receiving the CERB. If you are concerned about an error on your application for benefits, contact Service Canada at 1-800-206-7218.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if the CERB monthly amount is more than my current monthly income? Will I receive the full $2,000?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Yes. When you apply for the CERB and are deemed eligible, you will receive the full amount of the benefit regardless of what your monthly income was prior to having lost your employment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If I applied for EI regular benefits or EI sickness benefits before the CERB was announced will I receive the CERB or the benefit I applied for?<br \/>\n<\/strong>If you lost work due to COVID-19 and applied for EI regular or sickness benefits on or after March 15, 2020, your application will automatically be processed as a CERB application.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if I\u2019m currently receiving regular EI benefits? Will I still receive my payments?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Yes. If you have an open EI claim that is unrelated to COVID-19, your benefits should not be interrupted by the introduction of the CERB. You should still receive your regular EI payments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if my regular EI benefits have ended? Can I apply for the CERB?<br \/>\n<\/strong>If you are receiving regular EI benefits that end before October 3, 2020, you can apply for the CERB once your regular benefits have ended. You must meet the eligibility criteria for the CERB.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I still apply for other EI benefits, including maternity, parental, caregiving, fishing and work-sharing?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Yes. If you meet the eligibility requirements for other EI benefits, you can still apply as you normally would.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do I have to pay taxes on my CERB payments?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Yes. All EI benefits are considered taxable income by the CRA, including the CERB. You will need to report any CERB payments received when you file your 2020 taxes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Am I eligible for the CERB if my only source of income is Income Assistance, CPP, or another type of government benefit?<br \/>\n<\/strong>No. The CERB is a benefit intended for those who have had interruptions in earned income. These types of government benefits are considered unearned income. However, your government benefits should not be affected by COVID-19. You should still be receiving Income Assistance, CPP payments, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if I\u2019m a student and now unable to find summer employment?<br \/>\n<\/strong>You may be eligible if you were working part-time and lost employment due to COVID-19 and meet the other eligibility criteria. If you were a student and you were not working, you are not eligible for the CERB.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if I was working outside of Canada?<br \/>\n<\/strong>If you have earned $5,000 in 2019 or within the 12-month period prior to applying for the benefit, it does not matter whether that income was earned in Canada or not. You must reside in Canada to eligible for the benefit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if I am not a Canadian citizen?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Permanent residents and temporary residents who have Social Insurance Numbers are eligible for the benefit if they are residing in Canada. A SIN is required for these individuals to work in Canada or to receive benefits and services from government programs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if I am a temporary foreign worker?<br \/>\n<\/strong>If you are a temporary foreign worker or international student, you may be eligible for the CERB if you meet the other eligibility factors. Contact Service Canada for more information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if I\u2019m newly self-employed and haven\u2019t yet earned any income?<br \/>\n<\/strong>You may be eligible for the CERB if you cannot earn any self-employment income due to COVID-19 and you meet the other eligibility criteria.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Resources:<br \/>\n<\/strong>Service Canada information on the Canada Emergency Response Benefit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/services\/benefits\/ei\/cerb-application.html\">https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/services\/benefits\/ei\/cerb-application.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>How to Apply for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/revenue-agency\/services\/benefits\/apply-for-cerb-with-cra.html\">https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/revenue-agency\/services\/benefits\/apply-for-cerb-with-cra.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>PDF Version:<\/strong>\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/COVID-19-EI-and-CERB-April-20-2020.pdf\">COVID 19 EI and CERB (April 20, 2020)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><div class='post_delimiter'><\/div><\/div><div class=\"post_author_timeline\"><\/div><span class='hidden'>\n\t\t\t\t<span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='url'>https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/nnounce-01.png<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='height'>1500<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='width'>1500<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"publisher\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='name'>Lisa Stokkeskog<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='logo' itemscope itemtype='https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='url'>https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/NSLA-FR-IDPMS-small-300x100.jpg<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><span itemprop='name'>Lisa Stokkeskog<\/span><\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"datePublished\" datetime=\"2020-04-20T15:27:58-03:00\" >2020-04-20 15:27:58<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"dateModified\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/dateModified\" >2020-04-20 15:27:58<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"mainEntityOfPage\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/mainEntityOfPage\" ><span itemprop='name'>Updated Information About EI\/CERB &#038;

COVID-19<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During the COVID-19 public health crisis, Nova Scotia Legal Aid continues to provide legal services to individuals regarding Employment Insurance (EI) matters. Current clients and new applicants may suddenly be facing a loss of income and have questions relating to accessing regular or sickness Employment Insurance Benefits, or the new Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB).<\/p>\n<p>At this time, individuals can apply for Legal Aid over the phone by calling their local office, or online at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/online-application\/\">https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/online-application\/<\/a>. They can also chat online with a Social Justice lawyer on Wednesdays from 3:00 to 5:00 PM.\u00a0 For more information on the Canada Emergency Response Benefit, please see below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who is eligible for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB)?<br \/>\n<\/strong>The benefit is intended for those who have lost employment or self-employment income because of COVID-19. This includes workers who have lost their job, are sick, quarantined, are taking care of someone who is sick with COVID-19, and working parents who must stay at home without pay due to school or daycare closures.<\/p>\n<p>Workers aged 15 and older who have stopped working because of COVID-19 and who will be expected to be without an income for at least 14 consecutive days are eligible for the CERB if they have had income of at least $5,000 in 2019 or in the 12 months prior to the date of their application.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do I need a certain number of hours to be eligible for the CERB?<br \/>\n<\/strong>No. Unlike regular EI benefits, the CERB does not require that applicants have worked a certain number of hours.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do I need to have earned a certain amount of income to be eligible for the CERB?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Yes. Applicants must have earned at least $5,000 in income in 2019 or in the 12 months prior to the date of their application. This income can be from employment, self-employment, maternity and parental benefits under the EI program and\/or similar benefits paid in Quebec under the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I apply for the CERB?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Individuals can apply online if they have registered for a Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) My Account or a My Service Canada Account. Otherwise they can apply over the phone with an automated phone service. Applications will open on Monday, April 6, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>In order to streamline the applications process, Service Canada has designated specific days for individuals to apply based on what month of the year in which they were born. Individuals are being encouraged to use the following guidelines to determine what day to apply for the benefit:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table width=\"631\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"229\"><strong>If you were born in the month of<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"226\"><strong>Apply for CERB on<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"176\"><strong>Your best day to apply<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"229\">January, February or March<\/td>\n<td width=\"226\">Mondays<\/td>\n<td width=\"176\">April 6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"229\">April, May or June<\/td>\n<td width=\"226\">Tuesdays<\/td>\n<td width=\"176\">April 7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"229\">July, August or September<\/td>\n<td width=\"226\">Wednesdays<\/td>\n<td width=\"176\">April 8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"229\">October, November or December<\/td>\n<td width=\"226\">Thursdays<\/td>\n<td width=\"176\">April 9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"229\">Any month<\/td>\n<td width=\"226\">Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays<\/td>\n<td width=\"176\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Do I need to get a ROE from my employer to apply for the CERB?<br \/>\n<\/strong>No. You do not need a Record of Employment (ROE) to apply for the CERB. You will need to know your Social Insurance Number (SIN) and postal code in order to verify your identity.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>How long will I have to wait before I start receiving payments?<br \/>\n<\/strong>After you have applied for the CERB, you should receive your first payment within 3 business days if you have signed up for direct deposit. If you haven\u2019t signed up for direct deposit, you can expect to receive your first payment within 10 business days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much money will I receive?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Applicants who are eligible for the CERB will receive $500 per week for a 4-week period. The amount for the 4-week period will be paid to you as a single payment of $2,000.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long does the benefit last?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Once you apply, you will receive the benefit for 4 weeks. After the initial 4-week period, if you are still without work, you can re-apply for another 4-week period, up to a maximum of 16 weeks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if I\u2019m still receiving some income from employment\/self-employment but it\u2019s been reduced because of COVID-19? Am I still eligible for the CERB?<br \/>\n<\/strong>No. If you are still working, you are not eligible for the CERB.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My employer hasn\u2019t laid me off, but I don\u2019t have any hours and have not been receiving any income, am I eligible for the CERB?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Yes. Even if you are still technically employed, but you aren\u2019t working due to COVID-19 restrictions, you can apply for the CERB. You must have no employment income for 14 consecutive days during the initial 4-week period.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I apply for the CERB even if I\u2019m eligible for regular or sickness EI benefits?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Yes, as long as the reason you have stopped working is due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if I select the wrong benefit category when I apply for EI? Can I change or update my application?<br \/>\n<\/strong>If you have applied for regular or sickness EI benefits on or after March 15, 2020 but lost work due to COVID-19, then your application will be automatically processed as a CERB application. If you would be entitled to more than the CERB amount under regular EI benefits you will not get the higher amount. You will retain your eligibility for regular benefits after you stopped receiving the CERB.<\/p>\n<p>If you are concerned about an error on your application for benefits, contact Service Canada at 1-800-206-7218.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If I applied for EI regular benefits or EI sickness benefits before the CERB was announced will I receive the CERB or the benefit I applied for?<br \/>\n<\/strong>If you lost work for a reason unrelated to COVID-19, you should apply for EI through the regular stream. If you lost work due to COVID-19 and applied for EI regular or sickness benefits on or after March 15, 2020, your application will automatically be processed as a CERB application.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if the CERB monthly amount is more than my current monthly income? Will I receive the full $2,000?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Yes. When you apply for the CERB and are deemed eligible, you will receive the full amount of the benefit regardless of what your monthly income was prior to having lost your employment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if I\u2019m currently receiving regular EI benefits? Will I still receive my payments?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Yes. If you have an open EI claim that is unrelated to COVID-19, your benefits should not be interrupted by the introduction of the CERB. You should still receive your regular EI payments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if my regular EI benefits have ended? Can I apply for the CERB?<br \/>\n<\/strong>If you are receiving regular EI benefits that end before October 3, 2020, you can apply for the CERB once your regular benefits have ended. You must meet the eligibility criteria for the CERB.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do I have to pay taxes on my CERB payments?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Yes. All EI benefits are considered taxable income by the CRA, including the CERB. You will need to report any CERB payments received when you file your 2020 taxes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Am I eligible for the CERB if my only source of income is Income Assistance, CPP, or another type of government benefit<br \/>\n<\/strong>No. The CERB is a benefit intended for those who have had interruptions in earned income. These types of government benefits are considered unearned income. However, your government benefits should not be affected by COVID-19. You should still be receiving Income Assistance, CPP payments, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if I\u2019m a student and now unable to find summer employment?<br \/>\n<\/strong>You may be eligible if you were working part-time and lost employment due to COVID-19 and meet the other eligibility criteria. If you were a student and you were not working, you are not eligible for the CERB.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if I was working outside of Canada?<br \/>\n<\/strong>As long as you have earned $5,000 in 2019 or within the 12-month period prior to applying for the benefit, it does not matter whether that income was earned in Canada or not. You must reside in Canada to eligible for the benefit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if I am not a Canadian citizen?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Permanent residents and temporary residents who have Social Insurance Numbers are eligible for the benefit if they are residing in Canada. A SIN is required for these individuals to work in Canada or to receive benefits and services from government programs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if I am a temporary foreign worker?<br \/>\n<\/strong>If you are a temporary foreign worker or international student, you may be eligible for the CERB if you meet the other eligibility factors. Contact Service Canada for more information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if I\u2019m newly self-employed and haven\u2019t yet earned any income?<br \/>\n<\/strong>You may be eligible for the CERB if you cannot earn any self-employment income due to COVID-19 and you meet the other eligibility criteria.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Resources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Service Canada information on the Canada Emergency Response Benefit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/services\/benefits\/ei\/cerb-application.html\">https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/services\/benefits\/ei\/cerb-application.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>How to Apply for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/revenue-agency\/services\/benefits\/apply-for-cerb-with-cra.html\">https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/revenue-agency\/services\/benefits\/apply-for-cerb-with-cra.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Printable PDF Version:\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/COVID-19-EI-and-CERB-April-3-2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">COVID 19 EI and CERB (April 3, 2020)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><div class='post_delimiter'><\/div><\/div><div class=\"post_author_timeline\"><\/div><span class='hidden'>\n\t\t\t\t<span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='url'>https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/nnounce-01.png<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='height'>1500<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='width'>1500<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"publisher\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='name'>Lisa Stokkeskog<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='logo' itemscope itemtype='https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='url'>https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/NSLA-FR-IDPMS-small-300x100.jpg<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><span itemprop='name'>Lisa Stokkeskog<\/span><\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"datePublished\" datetime=\"2020-04-03T12:22:02-03:00\" >2020-04-03 12:22:02<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"dateModified\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/dateModified\" >2020-04-03 12:22:02<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"mainEntityOfPage\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/mainEntityOfPage\" ><span itemprop='name'>Questions About EI\/CERB &#038;

Effective the week of March 30<sup>th<\/sup>, online family law chats will be held every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm where individuals can chat free with a lawyer about their family issue.<\/p>\n<p>NSLA is continuing to provide family summary advice services at all Courthouses through scheduled telephone appointments. This service is available to Nova Scotians who do not qualify financially for legal aid. NSLA has expanded its family summary advice services by making it available by telephone at all Legal Aid Offices that provide family law services.<\/p>\n<p>NSLA is continuing to provide full-service representation to qualified applicants for urgent and emergency family matters in accordance with the directives of the Courts. Individuals should contact the NSLA Office nearest to where their Court matter is being held.<\/p>\n<p>Individuals who are already being represented by a lawyer for their family matter(s) should contact their lawyer directly for assistance.<\/p>\n<p>Please note NSLA Offices are closed to walk-in traffic but can be reached by telephone or email.

African Nova Scotian Social Worker (ASW). In this new role as the ASW, Charnell will be responsible for the delivery of social work services to our African Nova Scotian clients. Charnell will provide social work expertise to assist our staff and our African Nova Scotian clients, in particular those involved with the <em>Children and Family Services Act<\/em>, <em>Criminal Code<\/em>, <em>Youth Criminal Justice Act<\/em>, and <em>Controlled Drugs and Substances Act<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Charnell will also be connecting with African Nova Scotian communities and service providers around the Province both to promote the services NSLA can provide and to ensure familiarity with services available to our clients.<\/p>\n<p>On the importance of this new role for NSLA, Executive Director, Megan Longley, QC &#8211; \u201dGiven the over-representation of African Nova Scotians in criminal and child protection systems it is essential that our staff are supported in providing the best service to clients and the best information to courts. Until we understand and share the history and cultural context of our clients, barriers to meaningful access to justice will remain in place\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Charnell Brooks holds a Bachelor of Social Work degree from Dalhousie University and has over 12 years of experience working with marginalized and vulnerable populations and most recently worked as a social worker with the Department of Community Services. In June 2016, she was asked to present the amended <em>Children and Family Services Act<\/em> to African Nova Scotia communities.<\/p>\n<p>In its Strategic Plan, NSLA recognizes African Nova Scotians are over-represented in criminal and child protection systems. The historical uniqueness of African Nova Scotian community and experience, which includes generations of systemic racism, means culturally aware and competent service must be delivered to our clients.<\/p>\n<p>The creation of an African Nova Scotian Social Worker (ASW) to work with and support clients in the criminal and child protection systems is supported by a grant from the Law Foundation of Nova Scotia.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please contact Charlene Moore QC, Service Delivery Director, Nova Scotia Legal Aid at 902-420-6589, email: <a

for NSLA as a Social Justice Support Worker (SJSW) for the Cape Breton region. The SJSW will play a significant role in delivering legal information to communities and clients and assisting clients navigating housing and income security administrative tribunal processes. The SJSW will provide a range of services to clients to ensure better client outcomes and improved access to justice.\u00a0 She will be travelling to various communities throughout the Cape Breton region to meet with people and communities who face transportation barriers to accessing our services.<\/p>\n<p>With respect to the impact this new role will have for people living in Cape Breton, Executive Director of NSLA, Megan Longley, QC, commented, \u201dWe know that many people do not receive the information or help they need to understand their rights or the processes required when faced with legal issues. By having a dedicated person who will be going into communities to provide information and service, as well as offer support to other service providers, barriers faced by people with issues relating to their housing or income will be significantly reduced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nora MacIntosh most recently worked with the Avalon Sexual Assault Center and was primarily responsible for drafting policy to protect the privacy interests of clients. She provided legal information and advocacy support to staff and clients navigating a broad range of legal issues. Nora is committed to advancing the rights of vulnerable communities and is a member of the Nova Scotia Rainbow Action Project and Board of Trustees for the Dalhousie Legal Aid Service sitting on the Community Development and Law Reform Committee.<\/p>\n<p>The creation of the Social Justice Support Worker for Cape Breton is supported by a grant from the Law Foundation of Nova Scotia.<\/p>\n<p>For

href=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/category\/news\/\" rel=\"tag\">News<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/header><div class=\"entry-content\"  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The Equity and Racial Diversity Committee (ERDC) on behalf of Nova Scotia Legal Aid (NSLA) welcomes the <a href=\"https:\/\/humanrights.novascotia.ca\/sites\/default\/files\/editor-uploads\/halifax_street_checks_report_march_2019_0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">report of Dr. Scot Wortley<\/a> on Halifax street checks. The profound results show that African Nova Scotian males are grossly over-represented in the street check data. Dr. Wortley in summarizing his findings, stated as follows:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Personally, after years of examining these issues, I believe that only a small proportion of the racial disparity in police checks can be explained by overt, malicious racism. Although the negative impact of a few \u201cbad apples\u201d cannot be completely discounted, I believe that most police officers in Halifax, and other Canadian cities, are professionals who try to conduct themselves in an objective manner. They certainly do not consider themselves racist and thus feel deeply insulted when accused of racial bias or profiling. However, I do think that implicit or unconscious bias can play a role in who the police \u201cfeel\u201d are suspicious and thus deserving of police attention (including street checks).\u00a0 I also feel that the police \u2013 like other segments of society \u2013 engage in forms of \u201cstatistical discrimination\u201d that can have a profound impact on policing outcomes. Much like the actuarial reasoning practices employed by insurance companies, police engage in forms of criminal profiling that target the usual suspects \u2013 the poor, the young, men, racial minorities. These forms of informal risk assessment can directly contribute to the overrepresentation of young Black men in street check statistics. Finally, we must also explore the impact of institutional forms of racism \u2013 including police deployment practices \u2013 that can have a hugely disproportionate impact on Black and other minority communities.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Wortley in his recommendations, stated as follows,<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Street checks should not be conducted solely on the basis of a civilian\u2019s personal characteristics including race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation or combination thereof. Police officers should not engage in actuarial discrimination and stop, detain and document civilians because their demographic profile is consistent with criminal profiles derived from aggregate crime statistics. Decisions must be based on individual level, not group-level suspicions. Group-level suspicions are consistent with the concept of racial profiling. The policy should also explicitly state that street checks should not be conducted simply because a civilian is observed walking or driving late at night or is physically present in a high crime community. Street checks are also not justified when a civilian has exercised their legal rights and refused to answer police questions. Street checks are also not justified simply because an individual has exercised their legal rights and decided to end an interaction with a police officer. Rightful noncompliance with police requests or commands does not provide the legal justification for increased police suspicion or street checks. Finally, the regulation should explicitly state that officers should refrain from investigatory police stops and\/or street checks based on a hunch or intuition that a person may be involved in criminal activity.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>NSLA affirms that street checks, or any form of police-civilian interaction, including police stops, must be within the legal parameters set out in the Nova Scotia Human Rights Code, <em>Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms<\/em>, legislation and the common law.<\/p>\n<p>We are here to assist Nova Scotians by protecting their rights and freedoms and ensuring a fair hearing in a court of law or before a tribunal. In keeping with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/NSLA-Strategic-Plan-2017-2020-Approved-November-14-2017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Strategic Plan<\/a>, NSLA remains committed to enhancing access to justice for historically disadvantaged Nova Scotians. In meeting that commitment, we recognize the over-representation of African Nova Scotians in the criminal justice and child protection systems. \u00a0We will continue to provide culturally responsive service by educating our staff on these issues and by bringing cultural impact to the forefront on matters before the Court.<\/p>\n<p>We want to work in collaboration with the African Nova Scotian Decade for People of African Descent (ANSDPAD) Coalition with the goal of addressing systemic issues, including overcoming any barriers to access to justice. On behalf of our clients, NSLA will be proactive in engaging the Nova Scotia Government with an aim to be included as a stakeholder in discussions of how to resolve this issue moving

><p>The Canadian Superior Courts Judges Association has launched a YouTube channel (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/judgesincanadalesjugesaucanada\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/judgesincanadalesjugesaucanada<\/a>) and below is an excerpt from their web page regarding the new educational videos available.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>A critical piece in maintaining, preserving and enhancing the Canadian system of justice is educating the public. This is also one of the objectives of the Canadian Superior Courts Judges Association (CSCJA). Ensuring that Canadians understand what to expect and how the system functions helps to promote effective and timely access to justice for all.<\/p>\n<p>The Association has two teaching tools to share with the public and with educators:<\/p>\n<p>The educational video Judges in Canada \u2013 What they do and how they do it is aimed at new and young Canadians as well as the public in general. The video illustrates what they are entitled to expect from Judges in Canadian Courts and covers principles fundamental to our Justice System; concepts such as Judicial independence and the Rule of Law.<\/p>\n<p>Educational messages are embedded in our story about a young man, Weldon, who, while returning his child to her mother, becomes involved in a car accident. This results in criminal charges. The child\u2019s mother then applies to the Family Court to seek restrictions on his contact with his child. Our narrator, The Honorable Judge Samuel Moreau of the Provincial Court of Nova Scotia, walks the viewer through our young man\u2019s story.<\/p>\n<p>In a courtroom scene, the Honorable Justice Deborah Gass of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia (Family Division) addresses Weldon\u2019s fear about discrimination within the Justice System. The video identifies the citizen\u2019s legal entitlement to a fair hearing according to the evidence and the law regardless of age, race, religion, sexual orientation or cultural origin.<\/p>\n<p>(The Canadian Superior Courts Judges Association (CSCJA) represents approximately 1,300 judges, sitting and retired, who serve on the superior courts and courts of appeal of each province and territory, as well as on the Federal Court of Canada, the Federal Court of Appeal and the Tax Court of Canada.)<\/p>\n<p><a

in more ways than you may realize. Migrating your property to the new land registration system signifies clear title to the government. This, in turn, allows you to have a real say over your property. The following story shows the difference having clear title can make.<\/p>\n<p>A long-time community member of East Preston and client of the Land Title Initiative, who wishes to remain anonymous, learned about the Initiative through a friend. Their friend attended one of the community meetings early this year. Concerned for the community, this individual told the client and others that everyone should apply to ensure clear title to their land. Heeding these words, the client applied to the Initiative.<\/p>\n<p>The client has owned the property since 1997 and wished to have the property migrated into the new land registration system.\u00a0 Ms. Shanisha Grant, the Staff Lawyer working in the Dartmouth Land Title Office, met with the client to explain the migration process and gather additional information about the property.\u00a0 Once a historical search of the property was completed and reviewed with the client, the property was successfully migrated to the new land registration system.<\/p>\n<p>The process was speedy, taking only three months to complete the property migration. Ms. Grant received the application this past July and successfully completed the migration by early September 2018.\u00a0 When talking about her experience with the Initiative, the client stated, \u201cI was very pleased with the experience I had working with the Initiative and the work that was done.\u00a0\u00bb She also expressed having peace of mind, affirming that, \u201cit feels good knowing that it\u2019s done and that I can relax and not have to worry about it anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Having the land migrated certifies to the government that the client has clear title to her land. She is now free to obtain a mortgage, sell her property, or pass her property down to her children if she wishes.<\/p>\n<p>If you reside, or own real property, in North Preston, East Preston, Cherry Brook\/Lake Loon, Sunnyville, or Lincolnville, and have land title issues\/need migration services, please contact Nova Scotia Legal Aid to apply for free legal services:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>By phone:

announced that we have commenced providing legal services pursuant to the new Land Title Initiative (LTI) in East Preston, North Preston, Cherry Brook\/Lake Loon, Sunnyville and Lincolnville.\u00a0 In collaboration with a number of government stakeholders, NSLA has been assisting land owners in these communities remove barriers to obtaining migration services and legal title to their land.\u00a0 This is helping to address the unequal treatment that African Nova Scotians have traditionally faced.<\/p>\n<p>Beazley Cain is one of these Nova Scotians.\u00a0 Mr. Cain is a lifelong resident of North Preston.\u00a0 He is an active community member who is happy that this initiative has begun.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Gordon Blackmore, who is the Staff Lawyer working in our Halifax Land Title Office, met with Mr. Cain to discuss the LTI and his experience with the program. Mr. Cain has two properties that require land titles work.\u00a0 Mr. Blackmore assisted Mr. Cain by having the title certified, and migrated, for one of his properties.\u00a0 The necessary legal work for Mr. Cain\u2019s second property is in progress.\u00a0 This property will require a Certificate of Title.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Gordon-Blackmore-2018.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-9464\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Gordon-Blackmore-2018-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Gordon-Blackmore-2018-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Gordon-Blackmore-2018.jpg 336w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nGordon Blackmore<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Cain first became aware of the LTI at a meeting at the North Preston Recreation Centre.\u00a0 He was excited that something was finally being done to address these historic land claims issues. He did admit his initial skepticism because he remembered similar programs in the past.\u00a0 He was also worried that something would derail the process.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Cain is happy with the personal service offered by NSLA, indicating he was impressed with our punctuality and professionalism.\u00a0 He was pleased that we are able to meet him at a time and location that is convenient for him.\u00a0 Above all, he is thrilled to have his own lawyer.\u00a0 He said, \u201cIt feels good knowing I have someone to look to\u201d (for help with the LTI process).<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Cain said that the time is right for land title clarification.\u00a0 He has children and wants to make sure that his children are left clear title to the family property when he dies.<\/p>\n<p>The Dartmouth Land Title

Results from this survey will be incorporated in the report of Professor Scott Wortley, the expert hired to make findings on this issue.<\/p>\n<p>Systemic racism has long been recognized as a reality that members of our African Nova Scotian communities must face on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>This is an opportunity to provide feedback on personal experiences with the police and perhaps contribute to meaningful change moving forward.

The event took place on Sunday, September 9<sup>th<\/sup> from 9:00 am-2:00 pm at Halifax Citadel. The event is organized by Shelter NS who brings together more than 200 volunteers and 30 plus community organizations and businesses to offer a day of caring and sharing to Nova Scotians experiencing, or at risk of experiencing homelessness. It is an opportunity for people to get a free haircut, hot meal, eye care, dentistry consults, care packages, school supplies, income tax returns completed, assistance with identification cards, flu shots, legal aid, etc. and learn about services in the community. Many thanks to Brittni Deveau, Articled Clerk, Halifax North Office, for helping out with the Legal Aid table &#8211; we had a steady stream of people looking for legal information and assistance with applying to Legal Aid.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><div class='post_delimiter'><\/div><\/div><div class=\"post_author_timeline\"><\/div><span class='hidden'>\n\t\t\t\t<span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='url'>https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Halifax-Connects-September-2018.jpg<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='height'>393<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='width'>347<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"publisher\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='name'>Lisa Stokkeskog<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='logo' itemscope itemtype='https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='url'>https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/NSLA-FR-IDPMS-small-300x100.jpg<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><span itemprop='name'>Lisa Stokkeskog<\/span><\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"datePublished\" datetime=\"2018-09-12T08:07:57-03:00\" >2018-09-12 08:07:57<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"dateModified\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/dateModified\" >2018-09-12 08:07:57<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"mainEntityOfPage\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/mainEntityOfPage\" ><span itemprop='name'>Halifax Connects<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/article><article class=\"post-entry post-entry-type-standard post-entry-8978 post-loop-108 post-parity-even single-small with-slider post-8978 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-news\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" ><div class=\"blog-meta\"><a href='https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/fr\/robert-currie-schulich-school-of-law-news-article-schulich-law-professor-rob-currie-is-back-in-the-classroom-after-a-socially-useful-sabbatical\/' class='small-preview'  title=\"Currie head\"   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Currie-head-180x180.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-8984 avia-img-lazy-loading-8984 attachment-square size-square wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Currie-head-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Currie-head-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Currie-head-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Currie-head-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><span class='iconfont avia-svg-icon avia-font-svg_entypo-fontello' data-av_svg_icon='pencil' data-av_iconset='svg_entypo-fontello' ><svg version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"25\" height=\"32\" viewBox=\"0 0 25 32\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\" role=\"graphics-symbol\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<path d=\"M22.976 5.44q1.024 1.024 1.504 2.048t0.48 1.536v0.512l-8.064 8.064-9.28 9.216-7.616 1.664 1.6-7.68 9.28-9.216 8.064-8.064q1.728-0.384 4.032 1.92zM7.168 25.92l0.768-0.768q-0.064-1.408-1.664-3.008-0.704-0.704-1.44-1.12t-1.12-0.416l-0.448-0.064-0.704 0.768-0.576 2.56q0.896 0.512 1.472 1.088 0.768 0.768 1.152 1.536z\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix standard-content'><header class=\"entry-content-header\" aria-label=\"Articles : Robert Currie \u2013 Schulich School of Law News Article: \u201cSchulich Law Professor Rob Currie is back in the classroom after a &lsquo;socially useful&rsquo;

The new service is set to begin on Friday, July 6.<\/p>\n<p>The Free Legal Clinic, located in the courthouse at 164 Main St., Yarmouth, will offer private appointments with a volunteer practising lawyer at 9 a.m., 10 a.m., and 11 a.m. on the first and third Fridays of the month, excluding holidays.<\/p>\n<p>Only those representing themselves on certain types of cases are eligible, specifically civil law matters before the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia or the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal, and family law appeals, except for child protection matters.<\/p>\n<p>The Yarmouth clinic will not deal with criminal law matters. Duty Counsel through Nova Scotia Legal Aid is available in most courthouses for assistance with criminal and family law matters that do not qualify at the clinic.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a drop-in clinic. Judges, lawyers and others involved with the provincial justice system are aware of this free service and may refer you to the clinic early in the court process or at any point during your time in court. You can also schedule an appointment on your own by visiting the Court Administration Office at the Yarmouth courthouse or by calling 902-742-0580.<\/p>\n<p>The Yarmouth Free Legal Clinic is modeled after those in Halifax and Sydney, which opened in 2015 and 2017, respectively. Since then, these clinics have provided hundreds of hours of assistance to self-represented litigants, mostly due to the dedication and generosity of volunteer lawyers and law firms in these communities.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Nova Scotia Courts and our access to justice initiatives, please visit <u><a

(NSLA) is pleased to announce that it has commenced providing legal services pursuant to the new Land Title Initiative (LTI). In collaboration with a number of government stakeholders, NSLA will assist land owners in removing barriers to obtaining legal title to their land.\u00a0 This will help to address the unequal treatment that African Nova Scotians have faced.\u00a0 Pursuant to the LTI, NSLA is now assisting Nova Scotians in the five Communities of East Preston, North Preston, Cherry Brook, Lincolnville, and Sunnyville. These five communities, among others, have suffered historical discrimination that, among other things, has prevented their land owners from receiving legal title to their land.<\/p>\n<p>Service provided will include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Obtaining a Certificate of Title under the <em>Land Titles Clarification Act<\/em> (LTCA) (which requires migration after issuance of the certificate of title);<\/li>\n<li>Migrations under the <em>Land Registration Act;<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Court-ordered declarations, and negotiation between private parties; and<\/li>\n<li>Applications under the <em>Probate Act\/Intestate Succession Act.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>NSLA is currently building a roster of lawyers to assist in this important Initiative. \u00a0We require lawyers to act for clients where our Staff Lawyers have conflicts of interest. Additionally, we are also looking for senior real estate practitioners to provide legal opinions and advice in relation to complex title issues.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in learning more about this Initiative, please contact the Halifax Land Title Office at: 902-420-8845, or you can direct your inquiries to: \u00a0<a href=\"&#x6d;&#97;&#105;l&#x74;&#x6f;&#58;l&#x74;&#x69;&#64;n&#x73;&#x6c;&#101;g&#x61;&#x6c;&#97;i&#x64;&#x2e;&#99;a\">&#x6c;&#116;&#x69;&#x40;n&#x73;&#108;e&#x67;&#97;l&#x61;&#105;&#x64;&#x2e;c&#x61;<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><div class='post_delimiter'><\/div><\/div><div class=\"post_author_timeline\"><\/div><span class='hidden'>\n\t\t\t\t<span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='url'>https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Land-Title.jpg<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='height'>371<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='width'>640<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"publisher\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='name'>Lisa Stokkeskog<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='logo' itemscope itemtype='https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='url'>https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/NSLA-FR-IDPMS-small-300x100.jpg<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><span itemprop='name'>Lisa Stokkeskog<\/span><\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"datePublished\" datetime=\"2018-06-25T09:33:59-03:00\" >2018-06-25 09:33:59<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"dateModified\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/dateModified\" >2018-06-25 09:33:59<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"mainEntityOfPage\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/mainEntityOfPage\" ><span itemprop='name'>Land Title Initiative Lawyer Roster<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/article><article class=\"post-entry post-entry-type-standard post-entry-8735 post-loop-116 post-parity-even single-small with-slider post-8735 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-news\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" ><div class=\"blog-meta\"><a href='https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/fr\/staff-and-or-managing-lawyer-position-truro\/' class='small-preview'  title=\"jobopportunity\"   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/jobopportunity-180x180.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-2684 avia-img-lazy-loading-2684 attachment-square size-square wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/jobopportunity-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/jobopportunity-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/jobopportunity-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/jobopportunity-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><span class='iconfont avia-svg-icon avia-font-svg_entypo-fontello' data-av_svg_icon='pencil' data-av_iconset='svg_entypo-fontello' ><svg version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"25\" height=\"32\" viewBox=\"0 0 25 32\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\" role=\"graphics-symbol\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<path d=\"M22.976 5.44q1.024 1.024 1.504 2.048t0.48 1.536v0.512l-8.064 8.064-9.28 9.216-7.616 1.664 1.6-7.68 9.28-9.216 8.064-8.064q1.728-0.384 4.032 1.92zM7.168 25.92l0.768-0.768q-0.064-1.408-1.664-3.008-0.704-0.704-1.44-1.12t-1.12-0.416l-0.448-0.064-0.704 0.768-0.576 2.56q0.896 0.512 1.472 1.088 0.768 0.768 1.152 1.536z\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix standard-content'><header class=\"entry-content-header\" aria-label=\"Articles : Staff and\/or Managing Lawyer Position &#8211;

class=\"entry-content\"  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Nova Scotia Legal Aid (NSLA) is pleased to announce that it has hired two Staff Lawyers from African Nova Scotian communities and two Legal Assistants to staff its two Land Title Initiative (LTI) Offices. Our Halifax LTI Office is now open for business and is located at: Suite 402, 5475 Spring Garden Road. The second LTI Office will be located at Suite 300, 99 Wyse Road, Dartmouth. It is anticipated that staff will commence operational duties in the Dartmouth Office in late June. Lawyers from those offices will be traveling to Lincolnville, Sunnyville, and the other communities for meetings as well.<\/p>\n<p>NSLA will provide service assisting Nova Scotians to obtain title to their land in the five Communities of East Preston, North Preston, Cherry Brook, Lincolnville, and Sunnyville. These five communities, among others, have suffered from historical discrimination that has prevented people from receiving legal title to the land they own. The Province is working with stakeholders, including NSLA, to remove barriers to the clarification of land ownership and address the unequal treatment that African Nova Scotians have faced.<\/p>\n<p>Service provided will include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>obtaining a Certificate of Title under the <em>Land Titles Clarification Act<\/em> (LTCA) (which requires migration after issuance of the certificate);<\/li>\n<li>migration under the <em>Land Registration Act<\/em>;<\/li>\n<li>Court-ordered declarations and negotiation between private parties; and<\/li>\n<li>applications under the <em>Probate Act\/Intestate Succession Act.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Applicants for service under this Initiative will not need to meet financial eligibility guidelines. Files will be assessed for merit and we can only provide service in the above five communities. Please contact our Halifax LTI Office @ 902-420-8845 to apply for legal service. You can also apply online @<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/online-application\/\">https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/online-application\/<\/a> or by completing an Application in any Legal Aid Office. Any inquiries can be sent to <a href=\"mailto&#58;&#108;&#116;&#105;&#64;&#110;&#115;&#x6c;&#x65;&#x67;&#x61;&#x6c;&#x61;&#x69;&#x64;&#x2e;&#x63;&#x61;\">&#x6c;&#116;&#x69;&#64;n&#x73;&#108;e&#x67;&#97;&#x6c;&#x61;i&#x64;&#46;c&#x61;<\/a>.

These five communities, among others, have suffered from historical discrimination that has prevented people from receiving legal title to the land they own. The Province is working with stakeholders, including NSLA, to remove barriers to the clarification of land ownership and address the unequal treatment that African Nova Scotians have faced.<\/p>\n<p>Service will be provided through the creation of two positions for lawyers from African Nova Scotian communities who will provide dedicated service on these files. These lawyers will operate independent of government and provide confidential solicitor services. We are currently advertising to fill these and support staff positions. Position postings can be found on our website.<\/p>\n<p>We will be accepting applications in our offices or online (www.nslegalaid.ca), although we will not be able to assign a lawyer or start work until the positions are filled. Once we are up and running, a notice will be posted on our website and Twitter feed.<\/p>\n<p>Service provided will include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>obtaining a Certificate of Title under the Land Titles Clarification Act (LTCA) (which requires migration after issuance of the certificate);<\/li>\n<li>migration under the Land Registration Act;<\/li>\n<li>court ordered declarations and negotiation between private parties; and<br \/>\napplications under the Probate Act\/Intestate Succession Act.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Applicants for service under this initiative will not need to meet financial eligibility guidelines. Files will be assessed for merit and we can currently only provide service in the above five communities.

African Heritage Month<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In honour of African Heritage Month, we would like to take this opportunity to express Nova Scotia Legal Aid\u2019s (NSLA) continued commitment to enhancing access to justice for economically vulnerable and historically disadvantaged communities throughout the Province.<\/p>\n<p>The UN Report of the Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent on its mission to Canada was released on August 16, 2017. According to their findings,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>East Preston and North Preston, communities on the outskirts of Halifax, Nova Scotia (on land that the British Crown granted to Black Loyalists following the American Revolution), has the highest percentage of Blacks in Canada.<\/li>\n<li>African Canadians are overrepresented in the child welfare and criminal justice system, the cause of which is said to be rooted in racial bias.<\/li>\n<li>There is a lack of implementation of the <em>Land Clarification Titles Act <\/em>(LCTA), which would assist people of African descent in obtaining titles to the lands on which they live.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As an organization, we acknowledge these findings and are dedicated to providing culturally responsive service to our clients which has been identified as a priority in the NSLA Strategic Plan &#8211; 2017-2020. We will continue to educate our staff and encourage our lawyers to bring cultural impact to the forefront on matters before the Court. For instance, there has been an increase in the use of cultural assessments by our lawyers to ensure that vital information about African Nova Scotian history and culture is before the Court.<\/p>\n<p>In September 2017, the Provincial Government announced a new initiative to support the clarification of land ownership with a focus on the five African Nova Scotian communities of East Preston, North Preston, Cherry Brook, Lincolnville and Sunnyville. These communities, among others across the Province, have suffered from historical discrimination that has prevented community members from receiving legal title to the land they own. NSLA, with the support of the Province of Nova Scotia, will provide legal services to African Nova Scotians seeking to obtain title to their land.<\/p>\n<p>The NSLA Equity &amp; Racial Diversity Committee will continue to work with the executive of Nova Scotia Legal Aid to ensure that as an organization, we better reflect the diverse communities which we serve.<\/p>\n<p>Brandon Rolle &amp; Alisha Brown-Fagan<br \/>\nCo-Chairs of NSLA Equity &amp; Racial Diversity Committee<\/p>\n<\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><div class='post_delimiter'><\/div><\/div><div

Self-Represented Litigants Project (NSRLP) \u2013 March 13, 2017:<\/p>\n<p>The NSRLP has embarked on a major project involving \u201clegal coaching,\u201d another form of unbundled legal service delivery we believe responds to the needs (and budgets) of self-represented litigants. Legal coaching is a form of unbundling that envisions an ongoing relationship between the lawyer and the client from the start of the file, empowers clients to take the next step in their litigation on their own, and provides them with more control over their matter by assuming a partnership with their lawyer.<\/p>\n<p>NSRLP Research Fellow Nikki Gershbain has been meeting with lawyers, self-represented litigants and other justice sector stakeholders to secure feedback on this innovative model. Nikki\u2019s preliminary research reinforces our belief that legal coaching is the next logical step in the unbundling model. Legal coaching has the potential to make the justice system more accessible to people who cannot afford full representation, but who can purchase some legal services, particularly in family law, where we are piloting this program.<\/p>\n<p>We need your input!<\/p>\n<p>Nikki has created a survey for family lawyers, which you can access here. Whether you have or have not delivered unbundled or coaching services in the past, we\u2019d like to hear from you about the challenges and possibilities of this model. Your feedback will inform the development of a training program for family lawyers interested in building a coaching practice, which is a specialized and challenging area of practice.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Annemarie Bonkalo\u2019s Report on Family Legal Services in Ontario<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the former chief justice of the Ontario provincial court, Annemarie Bonkalo, reinforced support for legal coaching in her report on the provision of family legal services in Ontario. Justice Bonkalo has recommended that the legal profession \u201csupport the development of legal coaching and offer continuing legal education opportunities to ensure lawyers are equipped to offer these services.\u201d She goes on: \u201cLawyers should be encouraged to take these training programs, and to offer and advertise coaching services. The Law Society of Upper Canada and LawPRO should consider providing incentives for lawyers to make legal coaching an integral part of their practice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We could not agree more! We are thrilled that Justice Bonkalo has formally recognized this new and important form of legal service delivery. Her report, which also includes key recommendations relating to unbundling, paralegal practice and law students, can be found here. If you have feedback on her recommendations, please send your comments by email to co&#109;&#109;&#101;&#x6e;&#x74;&#x73;&#x66;ls&#114;&#64;&#108;&#x73;&#x75;&#x63;&#x2e;on&#46;&#99;&#97; by <strong>11:59 p.m. on May 15, 2017<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>We Want to Hear From Litigants Too!<\/p>\n<p>We want to hear from all stakeholders in the system, including litigants. Whether you are representing or have represented yourself in a legal matter, have benefited from unbundled legal services or legal coaching, or had a lawyer for your matter but have ideas about coaching, we are looking for your input.<\/p>\n<p>Be on the lookout for our next newsletter, which will include a link to our legal coaching questionnaire for self-represented litigants.<\/p>\n<p>Feedback?<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions or comments about this project, please contact Nikki at

\/>\n________________________________________<br \/>\nNova Scotians with disabilities now have more support to stay in the workforce with enhancements to the Workplace Support Program. <\/p>\n<p>Now people will have access to even more types of technical aids and assistive devices. Technical aids include things like office furniture modifications, speech recognition software, visual and graphic organizers. Assistive devices may include wheelchair purchases and repairs, and hearing aids. <\/p>\n<p>\u00ab\u00a0We want as many people with disabilities in Nova Scotia to be able to work. But we know that sometimes costs can get in the way,\u00a0\u00bb said Community Services Minister Joanne Bernard. \u00ab\u00a0The changes we&rsquo;ve made to the Workplace Support Program will help those in need of assistive devices and technical aids to stay in their jobs by keeping money in their pockets.\u00a0\u00bb <\/p>\n<p>Changes to the program include:<br \/>\n&#8212; clients no longer have to pay upfront for devices<br \/>\n\u2013- clients can now be older than 65<br \/>\n\u2013- minimum working hours have been lowered to five hours\/week<br \/>\n\u2013- program eligibility has been expanded to include post-secondary students who require technical aids and assistive devices over and above what is provided by the Post-Secondary Disability Services Program administered by the Department of Labour and Advanced Education<br \/>\n\u2013- wheelchair purchases have been added to the list of allowable assistive devices<br \/>\n\u2013- the appeal process has been clarified<\/p>\n<p>The Workplace Support Program provides the supports that Nova Scotians with disabilities need to stay in the workforce. Nova Scotians with a disability who need a technical aid or assistive device to maintain their employment, and who meet the program eligibility, may receive funding. <\/p>\n<p>The Workplace Support Program also funds persons with disabilities who need attendant support to get or maintain employment. Nova Scotia is the only province in the country to offer these supports to ensure all Nova Scotians have access to work.<\/p>\n<p>The program is funded through the federal government&rsquo;s Labour Market Agreement for Persons with Disabilities. For more information, visit, https:\/\/novascotia.ca\/coms\/labourmarketagreement<\/p>\n<p>The department is changing programs to better support vulnerable people and create a more sustainable social support system. Immediate improvements are also being made when possible. <\/p>\n<\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><div class='post_delimiter'><\/div><\/div><div class=\"post_author_timeline\"><\/div><span class='hidden'>\n\t\t\t\t<span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='url'>https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/disabilities.jpg<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='height'>146<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='width'>345<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"publisher\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='name'>Lisa Stokkeskog<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='logo' itemscope itemtype='https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='url'>https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/NSLA-FR-IDPMS-small-300x100.jpg<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><span itemprop='name'>Lisa Stokkeskog<\/span><\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"datePublished\" datetime=\"2017-03-06T14:20:29-04:00\" >2017-03-06 14:20:29<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"dateModified\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/dateModified\" >2017-03-06 14:20:29<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"mainEntityOfPage\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/mainEntityOfPage\" ><span itemprop='name'>Government Enhances Workplace Support Program<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/article><article class=\"post-entry post-entry-type-standard post-entry-3331 post-loop-180 post-parity-even single-small with-slider post-3331 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-nouvelles\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" ><div class=\"blog-meta\"><a href='https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/fr\/directeur-executif-position-cosa-canada\/' class='small-preview'  title=\"CoSA Canads\"   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/CoSA-Canads-180x180.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-5804 avia-img-lazy-loading-5804 attachment-square size-square wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/CoSA-Canads-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/CoSA-Canads-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/CoSA-Canads-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/CoSA-Canads-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><span class='iconfont avia-svg-icon avia-font-svg_entypo-fontello' data-av_svg_icon='pencil' data-av_iconset='svg_entypo-fontello' ><svg version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"25\" height=\"32\" viewBox=\"0 0 25 32\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\" role=\"graphics-symbol\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<path d=\"M22.976 5.44q1.024 1.024 1.504 2.048t0.48 1.536v0.512l-8.064 8.064-9.28 9.216-7.616 1.664 1.6-7.68 9.28-9.216 8.064-8.064q1.728-0.384 4.032 1.92zM7.168 25.92l0.768-0.768q-0.064-1.408-1.664-3.008-0.704-0.704-1.44-1.12t-1.12-0.416l-0.448-0.064-0.704 0.768-0.576 2.56q0.896 0.512 1.472 1.088 0.768 0.768 1.152 1.536z\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix standard-content'><header class=\"entry-content-header\" aria-label=\"Articles : Directeur Ex\u00e9cutif Position &#8211; CoSA Canada\"><h2 class='post-title entry-title '  itemprop=\"headline\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/fr\/directeur-executif-position-cosa-canada\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Lien permanent : Directeur Ex\u00e9cutif Position &#8211; CoSA Canada\">Directeur Ex\u00e9cutif Position &#8211; CoSA Canada<span class=\"post-format-icon minor-meta\"><\/span><\/a><\/h2><span class=\"post-meta-infos\"><time class=\"date-container minor-meta updated\"  itemprop=\"datePublished\" datetime=\"2017-02-15T11:02:39-04:00\" >15 f\u00e9vrier 2017<\/time><span class=\"text-sep\">\/<\/span><span class=\"blog-categories minor-meta\">dans <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/fr\/category\/nouvelles\/\" rel=\"tag\">Nouvelles<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/header><div class=\"entry-content\"  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Description du poste | F\u00e9vrier 2017 | February 2017<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Vue d&rsquo;ensemble<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>En tant que leader exp\u00e9riment\u00e9, vous travaillerez avec le conseil d&rsquo;administration pour d\u00e9terminer la vision strat\u00e9gique, les priorit\u00e9s et les politiques de notre organisation.

Le cadre de la justice r\u00e9paratrice nous dit que les communaut\u00e9s doivent \u00eatre responsables \u00e0 la fois des victimes de la criminalit\u00e9 et de leurs auteurs. CoSA est un moyen par lequel les communaut\u00e9s participent \u00e0 ce travail. CoSA est enracin\u00e9e dans la conviction que chaque \u00eatre humain a intrins\u00e8quement la dignit\u00e9 et la valeur, ce qui signifie qu&rsquo;aucun \u00eatre humain est jetable.<\/p>\n<p>Le coeur de CoSA r\u00e9side dans la pratique de vivre dans la relation et la communaut\u00e9. Souvent, les ex-d\u00e9linquants ont lutt\u00e9 pour b\u00e2tir des relations saines. En participant \u00e0 CoSA, ces hommes et les femmes apprennent ce que c&rsquo;est d&rsquo;\u00eatre en bonne relation avec les autres; Ils le voient model\u00e9 pour eux et l&rsquo;exp\u00e9rimentent pour eux-m\u00eames. Ils sont \u00e9galement attir\u00e9s dans la communaut\u00e9 et valoris\u00e9s en tant que personne. En cons\u00e9quence, ils apprennent \u00e0 se consid\u00e9rer comme faisant partie d&rsquo;une communaut\u00e9 et \u00e0 se soucier des autres et de la fa\u00e7on dont les autres les voient. Ces exp\u00e9riences ont le double effet de r\u00e9duire les risques pour la communaut\u00e9 et de restaurer la dignit\u00e9 des participants.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Vos t\u00e2ches quotidiennes comprennent:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Agir \u00e0 titre de porte-parole principal de CoSA Canada et de liaison avec notre gouvernement et les partenaires du secteur public.<\/li>\n<li>Promouvoir et encourager le travail des cercles de soutien et de responsabilisation partout au Canada et \u00e0 l&rsquo;\u00e9tranger.<\/li>\n<li>D\u00e9velopper des sources de financement durables pour CoSA Canada et pour la fourniture de CoSA par nos organismes partenaires.<\/li>\n<li>Travailler avec nos organismes partenaires pour s&rsquo;assurer qu&rsquo;ils sont soutenus dans la r\u00e9alisation de nos objectifs communs.<\/li>\n<li>Participer au conseil d&rsquo;administration et agir en tant que principal agent de liaison entre les administrateurs et le personnel.<\/li>\n<li>\u00c9laborer des plans strat\u00e9giques, y compris fixer des buts et des objectifs.<br \/>\nCollaborer avec le directeur associ\u00e9 et le personnel afin de cr\u00e9er des plans op\u00e9rationnels pour appuyer et atteindre les buts et objectifs strat\u00e9giques.<\/li>\n<li>\u00c9laborer des pratiques exemplaires et des politiques pour appuyer notre travail.<br \/>\nGestion du personnel de CoSA Canada.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Qualifications requises, comp\u00e9tences et aptitudes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Au moins 10 ans d&rsquo;exp\u00e9rience dans les services \u00e0 la personne et \/ ou les organismes de justice r\u00e9paratrice.<\/li>\n<li>Un minimum de 5 ans dans un poste de cadre sup\u00e9rieur ou de cadre.<\/li>\n<li>Un minimum d&rsquo;un dipl\u00f4me de premier cycle dans un domaine connexe; Les dipl\u00f4mes postuniversitaires ou professionnels en leadership, en sciences sociales ou en sant\u00e9 mentale sont privil\u00e9gi\u00e9s.<\/li>\n<li>Une connaissance approfondie du mod\u00e8le CoSA et de son application est un atout, mais pas n\u00e9cessaire.<\/li>\n<li>Excellente connaissance du paysage canadien de l&rsquo;application des lois, de la justice p\u00e9nale, des services correctionnels et de la sant\u00e9 mentale.<\/li>\n<li>Une exp\u00e9rience \u00e9prouv\u00e9e en tant que penseur strat\u00e9gique avec la capacit\u00e9 de communiquer et de traduire la vision future en actions r\u00e9ussies et les r\u00e9sultats.<\/li>\n<li>Solides aptitudes en leadership et en communication, y compris la capacit\u00e9 d&rsquo;inspirer et de persuader, avec une solide exp\u00e9rience de la parole dans les forums publics.<\/li>\n<li>Exp\u00e9rience de la cr\u00e9ation de partenariats de collaboration fructueux avec divers groupes d&rsquo;intervenants.<\/li>\n<li>Succ\u00e8s de l&rsquo;\u00e9laboration de fonds et de la planification financi\u00e8re et<br \/>\nla gestion.

Certificates. This partnership has produced the Private Bar Mentoring Program (PBMP) which is being rolled out across Nova Scotia today by NSLA. This initiative recognizes that members of the Private Bar often practice in isolation. Mentoring supports excellence in client service. NSLA thanks the members of the Private Bar who participate in the delivery of legal aid and acknowledge their access to justice commitment by taking these cases. If you have any questions regarding the PBMP, please contact your local NSLA Managing Lawyer.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><div class='post_delimiter'><\/div><\/div><div class=\"post_author_timeline\"><\/div><span class='hidden'>\n\t\t\t\t<span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='url'>https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/PBMP-pix.jpg<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='height'>117<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='width'>176<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"publisher\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='name'>Lisa Stokkeskog<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='logo' itemscope itemtype='https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='url'>https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/NSLA-FR-IDPMS-small-300x100.jpg<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><span itemprop='name'>Lisa Stokkeskog<\/span><\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"datePublished\" datetime=\"2016-10-24T08:40:33-03:00\" >2016-10-24 08:40:33<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"dateModified\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/dateModified\" >2016-10-24 20:59:16<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"mainEntityOfPage\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/mainEntityOfPage\" ><span itemprop='name'>NSLA Private Bar Mentoring Program (PBMP)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/article><article class=\"post-entry post-entry-type-standard post-entry-2694 post-loop-194 post-parity-even single-small with-slider post-2694 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-news\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" ><div class=\"blog-meta\"><a href='https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/fr\/mental-health-foundation-of-nova-scotia-supports-nsla-clients-in-kentville-surrounding-areas\/' class='small-preview'  title=\"mental-health-foundation\"   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Mental-Health-Foundation-180x180-1475778041.png\" class=\"wp-image-2695 avia-img-lazy-loading-2695 attachment-square size-square wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Mental-Health-Foundation-180x180-1475778041.png 180w, https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Mental-Health-Foundation-80x80-1475778041.png 80w, https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Mental-Health-Foundation-36x36-1475778041.png 36w, https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Mental-Health-Foundation-120x120-1475778043.png 120w, https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Mental-Health-Foundation-450x450-1475778043.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><span class='iconfont avia-svg-icon avia-font-svg_entypo-fontello' data-av_svg_icon='pencil' data-av_iconset='svg_entypo-fontello' ><svg version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"25\" height=\"32\" viewBox=\"0 0 25 32\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\" role=\"graphics-symbol\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<path d=\"M22.976 5.44q1.024 1.024 1.504 2.048t0.48 1.536v0.512l-8.064 8.064-9.28 9.216-7.616 1.664 1.6-7.68 9.28-9.216 8.064-8.064q1.728-0.384 4.032 1.92zM7.168 25.92l0.768-0.768q-0.064-1.408-1.664-3.008-0.704-0.704-1.44-1.12t-1.12-0.416l-0.448-0.064-0.704 0.768-0.576 2.56q0.896 0.512 1.472 1.088 0.768 0.768 1.152 1.536z\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix standard-content'><header class=\"entry-content-header\" aria-label=\"Articles : Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia Supports NSLA Clients in Kentville &#038;

The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cba.org\/CBAMediaLibrary\/cba_na\/PDFs\/LLR\/Proposed-National-Benchmarks.pdf?lang=en-CA\">national benchmarks<\/a> are guiding principles to achieve the shared goal of a national, integrated system of public legal assistance focused on improving access to justice and meeting the needs of disadvantaged people across Canada. These 6 national legal aid benchmarks, under headings of an overall vision, scope of services, priorities for service, spectrum of service, quality of service and an integrated service delivery sector, capture current evidence about legal aid and define pathways for the future, are intended to provide a foundation for national indicators with common data measurement.<\/p>\n<p>To explain these concepts further, the CBA has authored a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cba.org\/CBAMediaLibrary\/cba_na\/PDFs\/LLR\/A-National-Framework-for-Meeting-Legal-Needs_Proposed-National-Benchmarks.pdf?lang=en-CA\">separate report<\/a> further elaborating on the rationale and potential of national benchmarks for Canada.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, contact us at <a href=\"&#109;&#97;&#x69;l&#116;&#x6f;&#x3a;e&#113;&#x75;&#x61;l&#106;&#x75;&#x73;t&#105;&#x63;&#x65;&#64;&#99;&#x62;&#x61;&#46;&#111;&#x72;g\">&#101;&#x71;&#x75;a&#108;&#x6a;u&#115;&#x74;&#x69;&#99;&#x65;&#x40;c&#98;&#x61;&#46;&#111;&#x72;&#x67;<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><div class='post_delimiter'><\/div><\/div><div class=\"post_author_timeline\"><\/div><span class='hidden'>\n\t\t\t\t<span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='url'>https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/CBA-ALAP-Report-August-2016.png<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='height'>221<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='width'>379<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"publisher\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='name'>Lisa Stokkeskog<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='logo' itemscope itemtype='https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='url'>https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/NSLA-FR-IDPMS-small-300x100.jpg<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><span itemprop='name'>Lisa Stokkeskog<\/span><\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"datePublished\" datetime=\"2016-10-05T14:02:26-03:00\" >2016-10-05 14:02:26<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"dateModified\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/dateModified\" >2016-10-05 14:07:50<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"mainEntityOfPage\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/mainEntityOfPage\" ><span itemprop='name'>CBA Work on Legal Aid Benchmarks<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/article><article class=\"post-entry post-entry-type-standard post-entry-2683 post-loop-196 post-parity-even single-small with-slider post-2683 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-news\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" ><div class=\"blog-meta\"><a href='https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/fr\/position-executive-director-nova-scotia-legal-aid-commission\/' class='small-preview'  title=\"jobopportunity\"   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/jobopportunity-180x180.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-2684 avia-img-lazy-loading-2684 attachment-square size-square wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/jobopportunity-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/jobopportunity-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/jobopportunity-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/jobopportunity-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><span class='iconfont avia-svg-icon avia-font-svg_entypo-fontello' data-av_svg_icon='pencil' data-av_iconset='svg_entypo-fontello' ><svg version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"25\" height=\"32\" viewBox=\"0 0 25 32\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\" role=\"graphics-symbol\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<path d=\"M22.976 5.44q1.024 1.024 1.504 2.048t0.48 1.536v0.512l-8.064 8.064-9.28 9.216-7.616 1.664 1.6-7.68 9.28-9.216 8.064-8.064q1.728-0.384 4.032 1.92zM7.168 25.92l0.768-0.768q-0.064-1.408-1.664-3.008-0.704-0.704-1.44-1.12t-1.12-0.416l-0.448-0.064-0.704 0.768-0.576 2.56q0.896 0.512 1.472 1.088 0.768 0.768 1.152 1.536z\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix standard-content'><header class=\"entry-content-header\" aria-label=\"Articles : Position &#8211;

Our first Executive Director, Gord Murray, QC, served with The Honourable Lorne Clarke on the Law Reform Advisory Commission.

He had a knack for making people feel special. \u00a0I began sending him our Annual Reports. He would take the time to call and chat or send a note after reading these. He took an interest in all that Legal Aid was doing. I would like to share with you a comment The Honourable Lorne Clarke made in a letter to me a few years ago: \u201c<em>It took much effort and foresight to bring the Legal Aid Commission into existence and practice but once here it has become an integral part of our life and the quality of our living.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Karen Hudson, QC<br \/>\nExecutive Director<br \/>\nNS Legal Aid Commission<\/p>\n<\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><div class='post_delimiter'><\/div><\/div><div class=\"post_author_timeline\"><\/div><span class='hidden'>\n\t\t\t\t<span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='url'>https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Clarke.jpg<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='height'>219<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='width'>220<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"publisher\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='name'>Lisa Stokkeskog<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='logo' itemscope itemtype='https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span itemprop='url'>https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/NSLA-FR-IDPMS-small-300x100.jpg<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><span itemprop='name'>Lisa Stokkeskog<\/span><\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"datePublished\" datetime=\"2016-05-25T15:08:18-03:00\" >2016-05-25 15:08:18<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"dateModified\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/dateModified\" >2016-05-25 15:08:18<\/span><span class='av-structured-data'  itemprop=\"mainEntityOfPage\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/mainEntityOfPage\" ><span itemprop='name'>The Honourable Lorne Clarke<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/article><article class=\"post-entry post-entry-type-standard post-entry-2354 post-loop-212 post-parity-even single-small with-slider post-2354 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-news\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" ><div class=\"blog-meta\"><a href='https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/fr\/cba-criminal-law-conference\/' class='small-preview'  title=\"CBA 3 May 2016\"   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/CBA-3-May-2016-180x180.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-2359 avia-img-lazy-loading-2359 attachment-square size-square wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/CBA-3-May-2016-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/CBA-3-May-2016-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/CBA-3-May-2016-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/CBA-3-May-2016-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><span class='iconfont avia-svg-icon avia-font-svg_entypo-fontello' data-av_svg_icon='pencil' data-av_iconset='svg_entypo-fontello' ><svg version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"25\" height=\"32\" viewBox=\"0 0 25 32\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\" role=\"graphics-symbol\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<path d=\"M22.976 5.44q1.024 1.024 1.504 2.048t0.48 1.536v0.512l-8.064 8.064-9.28 9.216-7.616 1.664 1.6-7.68 9.28-9.216 8.064-8.064q1.728-0.384 4.032 1.92zM7.168 25.92l0.768-0.768q-0.064-1.408-1.664-3.008-0.704-0.704-1.44-1.12t-1.12-0.416l-0.448-0.064-0.704 0.768-0.576 2.56q0.896 0.512 1.472 1.088 0.768 0.768 1.152 1.536z\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix standard-content'><header class=\"entry-content-header\" aria-label=\"Articles : CBA Criminal Law Conference\"><h2 class='post-title entry-title '  itemprop=\"headline\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/fr\/cba-criminal-law-conference\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Lien permanent : CBA Criminal Law Conference\">CBA Criminal Law Conference<span class=\"post-format-icon minor-meta\"><\/span><\/a><\/h2><span class=\"post-meta-infos\"><time class=\"date-container minor-meta updated\"  itemprop=\"datePublished\" datetime=\"2016-05-16T14:26:01-03:00\" >16 mai 2016<\/time><span class=\"text-sep\">\/<\/span><span class=\"blog-categories minor-meta\">dans <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nslegalaid.ca\/category\/news\/\" rel=\"tag\">News<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/header><div class=\"entry-content\"  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana;\">3 Nova Scotia Legal Aid lawyers presented at the CBA (Canadian Bar Association) NS Criminal Law Conference on May 13, 2016.
