Demystifying Canada’s justice system is the goal of an annual event returning to the Calgary Courts Centre on Saturday.

Returning for its 35th year, Law Day gives a rare glimpse behind the scenes at Calgary’s downtown court complex, permitting participants a chance to meet the people and see the processes behind keeping the city’s wheels of justice turning.

Returning is the free legal consultations facilitated by the popular “Dial-a-Lawyer” service, which organizer Tyler Fric says this year will be available for everybody to access.

“We are acutely aware of the numerous economic and social issues affecting many Calgarians these days,” he said.

“So, in addition to offering free in-person legal consultations at the Calgary Courts Centre during Law Day, we want to provide access to those who are unable to attend the event.”

During Saturday’s event from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., Albertans will be entitled a free 15- to 20-minute telephone consultation with lawyers specializing in employment, criminal, landlord/tenant, family or immigration law by calling 1-888-644-8950.
