Our Projects
JUSTICE MONTH
Is it possible to dedicate 31 days to access to justice? It was this idea, as crazy as it is ambitious, that gave birth to the Month of Justice in 2015. Since then, every March, Juripop presents this now unmissable event!
With the Justice Month, Juripop highlights the actions of universities, community organizations and institutions who promote access to justice. Every year, Juripop and dozens of organizations across Quebec mobilize to talk about your rights and offer you accessible legal services. It is also an opportunity to take stock of progress made in terms of access to justice, to identify persistent challenges and to reflect, together, on actions to be taken for a more just, egalitarian and inclusive society.
Legal clinics in the metro
Every Thursday in March, the Juripop team, along with volunteer notaries and lawyers, meet you in the Montreal metro to offer free legal consultations.
Are you a jurist who would like to meet the public? Sign up for our volunteer database.
To benefit from this service, simply show up at Métro Place-des-Arts with all the documents you need to answer your legal questions: lease renewal notice, court notice, contract, will, judgment, formal notice, etc.
No reservation required. Consultations last 15 minutes.
Place-des-Arts metro station from 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm on March 6, 13, 20 and 27, 2025. See you there!
Justice Month Seminar
The Justice Month is also a one-day seminar that brings together people like us, who are innovating to improve access to justice. By forming a community of practice made up of the community, academic and legal sectors, this day aims to create a forum for exchanging ideas on access to justice issues, and to work together on solutions that will make justice truly accessible to all, without barriers or exclusions.
Edition 2025 – Friday, March 28th
Reflexions and Perspectives: Communities engaged for better practices
The goal is to initiate a critical reflection on the crisis of public trust in institutions and the legal system, with the aim of examining the role of the community and academic sectors in the development and evaluation of “best practices.”
Details of the day and registration are available on the website of the Faculté de science politique et de droit at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM):

Since its creation in 2015, the Month of Justice has been made possible through the financial support from the Fonds d’études notariales de la Chambre des Notaires. Juripop also thanks the Société de Transport de Montréal (STM) for its continued support in the Montreal metro and the Faculté de science politique et de droit at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) for its contribution to the organization of the seminar.
