Community Legal Education Ontario

Community Legal Education Ontario (CLEO) develops clear, accurate, and practical legal education and information to help Ontarians understand and exercise their legal rights, especially those who face barriers to accessing the justice system. The CLEO Connect program offers training and resources for trusted intermediaries who assist people with low incomes to identify and address their legal issues. CLEO will also conduct public legal education (PLE) research for the benefit of legal education stakeholders, and will launch a Generative AI in PLE project to enhance the usability of CLEO’s Guided Pathways website, which assists users to complete legal forms. CLEO’s work will enhance access to justice for Ontarians by making legal information more widely available in accessible formats, and by making legal documents easier to complete.
