About Legal Aid BC
The Legal Services Society (LSS) is a non-profit organization created by the LSS Act in 1979 to provide legal information, advice, and representation services to people with low incomes.
Most people call us Legal Aid BC.
Our priority is to serve the interests of people with low incomes. But many of our services are available to all British Columbians.
For more about our history, here’s a brief overview.
We’re funded by the provincial government, with additional support from the Law Foundation of BC and the Notary Foundation of BC.
We’re accountable to the public and remain independent of government.
