Public Legal Education (PLE) is the name used to sum up a range of activities and initiatives that aim to help people to make sense of the law and its processes. Better legal know-how helps prevent problems, gets people to act early to stop problems escalating and assists people to manage the issues that do come up, including knowing when to get advice. Your Connection to Legal Information Since 2001
Since its pilot year in 2001, the Portage College Public Legal Education Program has been committed to partnering with community agencies and representatives throughout the Northeast Region of Alberta to ensure that public and community legal education needs are being addressed through the provision of information, resources, and education on a variety of legal topics.
