What. A. Year.

More interactive webinars. More curated Q&A. More deeply helpful guidance from our chatbot, Beagle+. 2024 was a great year for People’s Law — British Columbians are continuing to make us their go-to source for reliable legal information that responds to their everyday needs.

83% of users said we increased their understanding of an issue

So what’s our secret? Keeping it simple and engaging. All of our legal information is written in plain language, accompanied by visuals, videos, infographics, and relatable stories. Our users routinely praise how we make things easy for them to understand, even when the topics are tricky.

72% of users said we helped them identify what to do next

When you're stuck, we're here to help. Our plain language legal information doesn't just explain the law, it gives you ideas and step-by-step instructions on what to do next. We give folks a clear roadmap to solving things — now that’s empowerment.

68% of users said we helped them resolve or avoid an issue

It's one thing to develop legal information that's easy to understand and actionable (actually, two things). It's even more impactful for that info to help someone resolve an issue or avoid one altogether. That's the People's Law School difference.

This website explains in a general way the law that applies in British Columbia, Canada. The information is not intended as legal advice. The cases we refer to reflect real experiences, but names have been changed. See our full disclaimer.
