SPECIAL EDITION


CPLEA is developing a Justice Navigator Training program!

We’re excited to share that, with funding from the Alberta Law Foundation, we’re in the process of developing a formal training program for justice navigators, anticipated to launch in the spring of 2026.

Who are justice navigators? They’re any non-lawyer professional who supports their clients with many issues, including legal ones. They may be social workers, settlement workers, intake workers, counsellors, librarians, teachers and more. Learn more about justice navigators in our recent article on LawNow – CPLEA’s legal blog for non-lawyers.

The program will include a series of 10 online modules providing a base level of legal knowledge on a variety of legal topics, ranging from our Canadian legal system to substantive laws and processes. We also plan to create a community of practice, where justice navigators can dig deeper into more nuanced legal topics through webinars and peer-to-peer sharing.

Learn more about the program on our website.

Help us develop the program!

We believe in developing this program for justice navigators with the help of justice navigators. If you’re a justice navigator, we’d love your help!

We invite you to engage with us in one or more of the following ways:

  1. Complete a short program development survey.
  2. Have a virtual conversation for us to learn more about your agency and your legal education needs.
  3. Partner with us to support content development, including brainstorming and reviewing draft content.
  4. Participate in user testing draft modules before the program goes live.

To learn more about or engage with CPLEA’s Justice Navigator Training, please contact Jessica Steingard, Programming Manager at jsteingard@cplea.ca.
