The Fight for Access to Justice
At a recent convention in New York, I was inspired by a speaker presentation for Public Justice, keynoted by former President Bill Clinton. Public Justice is America's public interest law firm.
The key to this law firm is that it does not sue in order to settle. It sues in order to make precedents on the law books. It protects people and the environment, holds the powerful accountable, and challenges government, corporate and individual wrongdoing. It keeps the courthouse doors open for all.
At a recent meeting of influential Canadian lawyers, I asked do we need a Public Justice in Canada? What do you think?

General
- I took out a $500 payday loan, repaid it a couple of times at outrageous rates and then lost my job. I couldn't repay the last time, so now a lawyer representing the payday loan company is threatening to sue for $4,500 in damages. Definitely need some legal advice here please.
- When I'm driving and I encounter bicyclists, what rules of the road apply to me as the driver?
