Who is The Children's Legal & Educational Resource Centre

No, all of CLERC's services are free of charge. Have her call us. There are multiple ways young people can contact CLERC to learn about CLERC's services. They can call directly at (403) 207-9029, email clerc@clerc-calgary.ca or go to CLERC's website, www.youthlaw.ca . On the website they can search questions and answers to specific topics as well as submit a question through CLERC's "Ask a Lawyer" function. Professionals and parents can also call CLERC to explore how CLERC may assist a child or youth. It is important to know that CLERC represents children and youth only, not a young person's parents or other adults. Many Judges and Justices in Calgary understand the importance of children and youth having a voice in high conflict custody and access situations. CLERC frequently receives orders to represent young people in these matters and has two senior lawyers, Dale Hensley, QC & Julie Hart who have over 20 years' combined experience in the field. CLERC's newest lawyer, Danielle Klemen, specializes in representing youth in all other areas, particularly pregnant and parenting youth. CLERC works closely with many youth-serving agencies, schools, individual lawyers, students and volunteers to raise awareness about the legal rights and responsibilities of youth as well as the services CLERC offers. CLERC and lawyers from Borden Ladner Gervais LLP offer Legal Outreach for Youth (LOFY) & Affidavit Photo ID clinics in the community. Every October, CLERC hosts an annual fundraiser, the Artful Bench & Bar (ABB). 2012 marked the 7th annual ABB and CLERC's 10th Anniversary. As a non-profit organization, CLERC relies on the support of funders, donors, and fundraising events to ensure services continue to be free of charge to vulnerable children and youth in our community. Since receiving charitable status in 2002, CLERC has reached thousands of people through information, direct service, presentations, conferences and trainings. In 2012, CLERC increased its client base by almost 70% and will continue to grow in 2013 ...Read more
