About the event
Due to recent changes in court naming conventions, our Queen’s Bench Court Assistance Program has been rebranded as the King’s Bench Court Assistance Program (“KB Amicus Program”). This rebranding is a name change only and does not change the objective and scope of the KB Amicus Program.
The King’s Bench Court Assistance Program (also known as “KB Amicus Program”) provides summary legal assistance to self-represented litigants with civil matters at the Court of King’s Bench. Self-represented litigants with civil matters in the Court of King’s Bench who apply for assistance and meet program criteria will be able to receive up to 30 minutes of free legal advice from a volunteer lawyer.
In the morning, volunteer lawyers are available to provide in-person assistance to those without legal representation who need help with their Morning Chambers appearances in Applications Judge and Justice Chambers. This includes assistance with applications, bankruptcy, motions, and other appearances. This program does not assist with family, criminal or corporate matters, matters in the Alberta Court of Justice or other Appeal Courts, pre-trial conferences and mediations.
Courtrooms 211, 213, 316, and 517**
**Assistance in courtroom 517 is limited to Civil Restraining Orders.
