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 …

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
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.

The Spousal Assault Policy: A Critical Analysis, Leah Rachin
The Spousal Assault Policy: A Critical Analysis, Leah Rachin
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
This article examines the complex relationship between PCLS's spousal assault policy and the clinic's mandate to practice poverty law. The author addresses the conflict which arises from the clinic's attempt to reconcile two goals-access to justice for all members of Parkdale's poor community and advocacy in the area of violence against women. The article also examines whether poverty can serve as a catalyst for violent behaviour or whether such a hypothesis is based on classist myths and assumptions. Ultimately, the author concludes that if battering can be linked to poverty, then PCLS (as a poverty law clinic) has an obligation …
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 …

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 …
Clinics In A Cold Climate: Community Law Centres In England And Wales, Roger Smith
Clinics In A Cold Climate: Community Law Centres In England And Wales, Roger Smith
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Legal aid clinics in England and Wales, known as law centres, have struggled since they were set up in the early 1970s. They overcame the initial protests of the private profession, which saw the centres as competition, and established an important presence in social welfare law during the 1970s and 1980s. In 1986, the government began implementing financial cuts to the system. Over the next decade, the increased cuts led to a race towards "contract culture" and the introduction of "franchising" within the legal aid system. The implications of fiscal restraint on the efficiency and the quality of the service …
Welfare Reform In The United States, Joel F. Handler
Welfare Reform In The United States, Joel F. Handler
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Advanced countries that are experiencing high unemployment are reconsidering their generous welfare states in light of the American experience. This article sets forth a summary of the principles of the U.S. welfare reform -particularly enforcing work requirements by time-limited welfare-as well as the assumptions, including, principally, that welfare destroys work incentives and that jobs are available for those who want to work. In fact, most welfare recipients have extensive connections to the labour market, but cannot survive on either jobs or welfare. If the reforms are carried out as intended, severe hardship will result. The predicted outcome is that most …
Globalization Of The Mind: Canadian Elites And The Restructuring Of Legal Fields, Harry W. Arthurs
Globalization Of The Mind: Canadian Elites And The Restructuring Of Legal Fields, Harry W. Arthurs
Articles & Book Chapters
Globalization is not simply a matter of transnational trade, and of the state, non-state and supra-state legal regimes which facilitate, regulate or resist it; it also involves transnational social, cultural, intellectual and ideological forces. These forces play upon strategically located knowledge-based elites which play an important role in restructuring the legal fields by which public and public and private institutions are constituted. Canada's experience of globalization—unique because of proximity to the United States—has been both exemplified and, in part, shaped by the fate of its knowledge-based elites, including the business community (especially that part of it involved directly or indirectly …

Lawyering In Canada In The 21st Century, Harry W. Arthurs
Lawyering In Canada In The 21st Century, Harry W. Arthurs
Articles & Book Chapters
Legal practise is shaped by its social, political and economic environment. Canada's "new economy" of decreasing state regulation, globalization, computerization and changes in information technology, and the shift from manufacturing to the service sector has grave - largely negative - implications for the future of law and lawyers. Moreover, the profession is fragmented and stratified. It comprises multiple constituencies - solo practitioners, large corporate firms and specialists - with differing demographies and professional roles, which are implicated in varying degrees in the "new economy". As a result, they experience the restructuring of professional knowledge, governance, ethics and culture in ways …
