The Law Centre

Monday to Thursday, 9AM – 12PM and 1PM to 3PM. Closed every Friday and Stat holidays.

The Law Centre will be closed from Dec 22 to January 2nd and we will reopen January 5th, 2026.  

We are a student law clinic, and our students are now done for the Fall semester.  We are currently in the interim period with very limited appointments before our Spring semester begins in full swing in February 2026. 

If you have an existing file, please expect a transfer letter from your law student, and call us back after the week of February 2^nd, 2026 for further inquiry into your matter. 

If you are a new client and wish to book an appointment, be advised that we have very limited appointments available in December and January, and work on the file will not be assigned to a student until February 2026. 

All new intakes need to complete our Client Appointment Request form to be granted an appointment at The Law Centre.  You can access the form by sending us an email to reception@thelawcentre.ca where you will receive an automatic response with the link to the form.  Please note:  all clients need to qualify financially via our income and asset guidelines, and you must reside in the greater Victoria area to receive our free legal services.

If you are seeking immediate assistance, you may try calling the lawyer referral service at 604-687-3221 for a free 15 minute consultation and to be directed to a lawyer for hire.  Thank you for your patience and we look forward to assisting you.

Please note we cannot offer legal advice via telephone or email.

If you reside in the Greater Victoria area and are low income we would ask that you complete this intake request form to have your matter assessed to see if it is something we can assist with: https://forms.office.com/r/UMmD8caxB0
