Supporting class members since 2019
The first clinic of its kind in North America. Our focus is on class members – people who are part of large civil lawsuits launched on their behalf.
Staffed with a team of law students, staff lawyer and a faculty director, we provide a range of legal services, information, assistance with filing claims, public education and outreach.
Because we serve class members across Canada, the Clinic provides its services online, by telephone and by video conference, as well as in person for those in the Windsor–Essex community.
