About us
Easy Access to Law Information for all Nova Scotians. The Legal Information Society of Nova Scotia (LISNS) is a charitable organization providing Nova Scotians with information and resources about the law since 1982.
If you think about it, laws in some way regulate almost everything we do, the food we buy, the clothes we wear, and how and where we drive. But as with many things, we rarely think about laws until something goes wrong. We are stopped for speeding, our marriage breaks up, or our child gets into trouble.
At LISNS, we believe Nova Scotians have a right and responsibility to learn about the laws that affect them. And to do this, Nova Scotians must have access to these laws and easy to understand information.
Essentially, we believe providing easy access to law information is fundamental to a fair justice system.

Skeletor- asked:Looking for local lawyer, ex-girlfriend father sending threats Hello! I am looking for recommendations to get a second, more knowledgeable legal opinion on some threatening texts I have revived from my ex-girlfriends father, does anyone have any recommendations of a lawyer in Halifax I should contact? Cheers
mochasmoke replied:www.legalinfo.org would be a good place to start. Try "Peace Bonds" under the "Criminal" subject.

coincidence91 asked:Lawyers specializing in tenancy I've run into some troubles with a landlord and a lease. Does anyone know a good lawyer that handles or specializes in tenancy issues?
clicker666 replied:The Legal Info Society of NS may be able to provide assistance. https://www.legalinfo.org/ or 1-800-665-9779 (902-455-3135 in HRM). NS Legal Aid does deal with residential tenancy issues, provided you qualify for services. You can apply online for them, but getting advice through LISNS is probably faster.

Sylvia W. asked:ISO: Someone who has legal training but isn't a lawyer (I need free help) for papers I need filled out called "Dispense of consent" on a name change for my 3 yr old daughter. I don't have an easy time of getting around this city and getting someone in the courts to help me has been like pulling teeth. I can't even get a legal aid lawyer to help me (they say it's not part of their job and I've been denied twice) Is there anyone in here or know of anyone who can help me understand these papers so I can fill them out right? thanks.Peter M. replied:Unfortunately I don't know anyone personally, but I have two suggestions. You mentioned you can't get legal aid, but Dalhousie Legal Aid Society (http://www.dal.ca/faculty/law/dlas/about-dalhousie-legal-aid.html) might be worth a call. Also, the Legal Information Society of NS (http://www.legalinfo.org/) might be able to help. Good luck.
