Parkdale Community Legal Services has had an Immigration and Refugee division since 1989. The immigration division is one of the busiest divisions. The group represents refugee claimants, with an overall priority of women fleeing abuse in their country of nationality. The group also advocates for clients in family reunification and landing matters and represents clients in their applications for landing on humanitarian and compassionate grounds. Law reform work includes continued work with the Toronto Coalition Against Racism and the Canadian Council for Refugees to build responses to the Head Tax, Safe Third Country Agreement, and the new identification and delayed …

The Perils Of Poverty: Prostitutes' Rights, Police Misconduct, And Poverty Law, Ray Kuszelewski, Dianne L. Martin
The Perils Of Poverty: Prostitutes' Rights, Police Misconduct, And Poverty Law, Ray Kuszelewski, Dianne L. Martin
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
This article is divided in two parts. In Part I, Ray Kuszelewski details the history of setbacks in representing street prostitutes faced by community-based initiatives at Parkdale Community Legal Services (PCLS). It is a personal, anecdotal, account of the clinic's evolutionary role in tackling the perils of poverty for street prostitutes. In Part II, Dianne Martin complements the first section by addressing the specific problem of police misconduct. The commentary is historical and theoretical in examining prior efforts at reform and argues for the development of a new, collaborative approach. The context is local and particularized in a community legal …

Twenty-Five Years Of Dynamic Tension: The Parkdale Community Legal Services Experience, Shelley A.M. Gavigan
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Parkdale Community Legal Services has been the site of initiatives, challenges, and historic accomplishments in the areas of community-based poverty law, community organizing and law reform, and clinical legal education. In this article, the author takes the occasion of the clinic's twenty-fifth anniversary to consider some of the events and issues that shaped Parkdale's history. Drawing on a range of sources, including evaluations and reports, student writing, and scholarly publications, the author examines the issues and debates that PCLS has sparked at Osgoode Hall Law School, and some of the ground it has broken more generally in its work. The …

The Ellis Archives-1972 To 1981: An Early View From The Parkdale Trenches, S. Ronald Ellis
The Ellis Archives-1972 To 1981: An Early View From The Parkdale Trenches, S. Ronald Ellis
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
The author was intimately involved with PCLS from 1972 to 1981. Significant extracts from a recently uncovered, personal horde of archival materials--framed by the author's description and explication of the materials' original context--provide old perspectives on a wide range of surprisingly current issues--perspectives which the author believes readers will find still useful. The subject matter includes: the private bar's role in the ultimate success of PCLS and the clinic system; legal aid services; the bar's role in the legal aid system; the need for customized legal services in low-income communities; the role and operation of community based legal clinics; a …

Legal Education: Nemesis Or Ally Of Social Movements?, Janet E. Mosher
Legal Education: Nemesis Or Ally Of Social Movements?, Janet E. Mosher
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
There is much in legal education which contributes to lawyering practices that are fundamentally at odds with the formation of social movements. These practices include the "individualization" of client problems; the reshaping of the realities of clients' lives into legal categories or boxes; the commitment to instrumentalism (that is, to securing a favourable legal result); and lawyer domination and control and the correlates of client silence and passivity. The genesis for these features of dominant lawyering practices can be traced, at least in part, to legal education. More specifically, legal education's emphasis upon doctrinal analysis, its tendency to trade upon …
The Demystification Of Legal Discourse: Reconceiving The Role Of The Poverty Lawyer As Agent Of The Poor, Cherie Robertson
The Demystification Of Legal Discourse: Reconceiving The Role Of The Poverty Lawyer As Agent Of The Poor, Cherie Robertson
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
By employing traditional methods of legal representation when acting on behalf of those living in poverty, lawyers act to perpetuate the disempowerment of poor people.. While the systemic barriers confronting the poor must be addressed, so too must the power of the poor to help themselves through organization and resistance. The task of the poverty lawyer committed to facilitating the agency of the poor is made difficult by the exclusivity and formalism of legal discourse, the constraints of the Rules of Professional Conduct, and by traditional understandings of the appropriate role of lawyers. However, a reconceptualization of the role of …

The West Lodge Files: Joining Clinic And Community To Overcome Tenants' Subordination, Mary Truemner, Bart Poesiat
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Organizing with members of the community is an essential part of realizing change through legal advocacy. This article explores how organizing with tenants' associations in the Parkdale community created a foundation for success in the courtroom in what are perhaps Parkdale Community Legal Services' most famous files-The West Lodge Files. The article traces the long history of legal and other battles surrounding the West Lodge towers, beginning with a groundbreaking Supreme Court of Canada case for tenants' rights in the 1970's and ending with the tenants' 1997 attempt and courtroom battle to buy the buildings and turn them into a …

The Legal Advocate And The Questionably Competent Client In The Context Of A Poverty Law Clinic, Diana A. Romano
The Legal Advocate And The Questionably Competent Client In The Context Of A Poverty Law Clinic, Diana A. Romano
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Advocates representing the poor must, above all, take into account the extreme vulnerability of their clients. This challenge is heightened where one suspects that a client may lack the capacity to provide appropriate instructions. This article considers the issue of how competency should be defined and the options available where incompetency is determined. Ultimately, advocacy must include personal empowerment as well as legal representation.

Safe At Home: Protecting Female Tenants From Violence, Lori A. Pope
Safe At Home: Protecting Female Tenants From Violence, Lori A. Pope
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
This article deals with the tension for legal aid clinics between a policy of not representing landlords and a policy of acting for abused women rather than their alleged abusers. Many women face violence where they live, which can jeopardize their tenancies. To combat the resulting legal problems effectively, clinics may need to work indirectly or even directly for landlords. Clinics ought also to consider lobbying for changes to legislation to allow tenants to take action directly against other tenants who threaten their safety. Parkdale Community Legal Services (PCLS), which led the way for other clinics in their adoption of …
