Legal Clinics

We serve self-identified women and gender diverse people self-representing themselves in family law matters in British Columbia.

Rise’s legal clinics provide:

• legal navigation (legal information only) for all clients

• if financially eligible, support from our family law advocate, access to limited legal services from the student clinic, access to summary advice at Rise, and support from the community outreach advocate

• referrals to community organizations across the province, if clients are not eligible for Rise’s services.

Rise does not provide full legal representation for clients.

Rise has three legal clinics:

1. Community Legal Clinic (serving clients in the Lower Mainland)

2. Virtual Legal Clinic (serving clients outside the Lower Mainland)

3. Student Legal Clinic (serving clients mainly in the Lower Mainland and and are able support clients with simple family law matters in the Lower Mainland courts)
