About The Law Foundation of Prince Edward Island
ESTABLISHED IN 1973
Proud to Advance Justice For all Islanders
The Law Foundation of Prince Edward Island was established in 1973 under the Legal Profession Act to support access to justice, legal education, and legal system improvements across the province.
Our work is made possible through a fund maintained by the Foundation, which is primarily supported by interest earned on lawyers’ pooled trust accounts. These funds are used to support initiatives that align with our mandate, including:
- Legal education, research, and law reform
- Promoting legal aid and access to justice
