CPLEA needs your feedback
Have you used CPLEA’s resources to help you or a family member deal with a legal question?
If yes, we want to hear from you! Please complete our 2-minute survey to help us understand how Albertans find and use legal information. Your experiences and opinions will help improve access to clear, useful and trustworthy legal resources.
CPLEA Webinar Series
Tuesday, October 14, 2025
Time: 12:00 to 1:00 pm
Not every problem needs a lawyer. We’ll explore when legal representation is needed and when a justice navigator can guide you instead.
Wednesday, October 29, 2025
Time: 12:00 to 1:00 pm
Bust the myths and dive into the details. Learn what really happens when someone makes decisions for you, what responsibilities they carry and what you should expect in practice.
Shaping Tenancy Law Resources Together: Community Consultations
We want to hear from community organizations, service providers and tenants to help us improve our resource offerings. We want to know what legal information is most needed — especially around self-help and translated materials.
Your input will directly shape the next phase of our project: making our resources more helpful for the people who rely on them.
We anticipate enhancing and redeveloping our tenancy law resources starting in the Summer of 2026.

Why is public legal education so important?
Our goal at CPLEA is to make the law understandable for Albertans. By doing so, we hope Albertans can make decisions to avoid legal issues from arising. If legal issues do come up, we hope Albertans have the knowledge and skills to deal with them early and avoid time-consuming, costly litigation.
One of our staff lawyers, Judy Feng, recently wrote an article for LawNow titled Introducing Preventive Legal Services: Seeing the law differently. Read on to learn more about preventive law – an approach to law that empowers people about their legal rights and responsibilities, while minimizing the risks of litigation.
