In August, 2002 all BC Legal Services Society’s poverty law direct service delivery primarily funded by the provincial government, were eliminated because of government cutbacks. This research paper reports on the status of poverty law services in British Columbia and records the views of poverty law service providers. The paper researches other delivery models in Canada and in other countries. The report serves as a first step in determining the most pressing poverty law needs in B.C. since the cutbacks and possible options to address them.
