Halifax Lawyers

The legal landscape in Halifax

Halifax's Law Courts at 1815 Upper Water Street house both the Nova Scotia Supreme Court and the Provincial Court, with the Court of Appeal a short walk away at The Law Courts on Lower Water Street. All Nova Scotia lawyers are regulated by the Nova Scotia Barristers' Society; the NSBS Lawyer Lookup verifies bar admission and any discipline. Nova Scotia Legal Aid runs a Halifax office covering family, criminal, and Youth Court matters, and Dalhousie Legal Aid Service (a teaching clinic staffed by Schulich School of Law students under supervision) provides no-cost civil advice.
