Legal clinic newsletter-sharing project

Any community legal clinic in the province is welcome to join the newsletter-sharing project. See below, for a list of the newsletters you'll find on CLEONet.

CLEONet started the project to help legal clinics in eastern Ontario who had been sharing newsletter articles but were looking for an easier way to collaborate. Members now work together using an e-mail list and their newsletters are posted to CLEONet, making them available to a larger audience.

If your clinic would like to join, contact us for more information.
