Description:
The African Nova Scotian Justice Institute (ANSJI) is an institute of the African Nova Scotian Decade for People of African Descent Coalition (ANSDPAD). It is our view that the knowledge of and created by IRCAs should not be "owned" by private individuals, but rather by the community. We consider the work of IRCAs to be embedded within the ANSJI.

Program Purpose:

Criminal legal aid helps support legal services for economically-disadvantaged persons accused of serious criminal offences and for youth charged under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Immigration and refugee legal aid supports legal services for eligible individuals appearing at immigration and refugee proceedings. The Legal Aid Program also manages and funds State-Funded Counsel cases on behalf of the federal government, where the Attorney General of Canada is ordered by a court to provide funded defence counsel, or where the Department reimburses legal aid plan costs in national security proceedings. Additionally, time-limited funding has been made available through the Legal Aid Program for legal information and advice services for individuals impacted by workplace sexual harassment.
