What if I'm Not Eligible?

If Legal Aid refuses you to receive legal services or asks you to pay some money toward the costs of the legal fees, and you disagree with this decision, you can appeal the decision to the CEO within 20 days from when the Legal Director sent you a written denial of service. The appeal form is attached to the denial.

Options

In family law matters (uncontested divorce, child support orders, etc.) you may be able to use a "self-help kit" available from the Saskatchewan Law Court. The Family Justice Services Branch of Sask. Justice runs the Support Variation Project (assists parents with limited income by providing free information and services to facilitate changes to their existing child support order or agreement) and the Family Law Information Centre provides all members of the public, regardless of income level, with free legal information on family law matters. The toll-free number is 1-888-218-2822 or in Regina call 787-5873.  

You may choose to represent yourself in criminal court, and advice and resources are available to help you. The Public Legal Education Association (PLEA) also has publications that might help. Also please check our Links page for other resources.
