ABOUT PLEA
The Public Legal Education Association of Saskatchewan (PLEA) was incorporated in 1980 as a non-profit, non-government organization that exists to educate, inform and empower through law-related education.
PLEA can help members of the public by providing general legal information, suggesting resources, and telling people about different options for obtaining legal advice. PLEA can help people…
- satisfy a general interest in law
- become familiar with areas of the law that most affect them
- make use of legal resources available in the community
The information PLEA provides is about laws specific to Saskatchewan and Canada. It is intended as general legal information only and should not form the basis of legal advice of any kind. Individuals seeking specific legal advice should consult a lawyer.
PLEA's Youth and Schools programming provides support for law-related education beyond secondary-level Law classes. Resources developed through the Youth and Schools program cover all age levels and areas of the curriculum, from English Language Arts to Practical and Applied Arts.
The Youth and Schools program also provides plain-language information for young people on topics important to them, such as babysitting, bicycling, and the Youth Criminal Justice Act. As well, a speakers bureau using guest speakers such as lawyers and other professionals can be coordinated for classrooms and youth organizations through the online Request a Speaker form.
