Law office victim
of its own success

by Nancy Orr

Success for a project is grati-

fying, and yet the project’s suc-

cess can bring its own problems, -

_as the Legal Services Centre in
Terrace has discovered.

The centre, opened in 1989

with a staff of two, a lawyer and
a receptionist/secretary, was
soon swamped with cases. Es-
tablished as a native centre, it
was also authorized: to handle
general: community cases. The

centre was busy from the begin- -
ning since Terrace is the catch-.

ment area from the Yukon

border to the Douglas Channel Terrace and district, arranged

tions, 984 were referred to

locally. °

The administrative board for
the centre has been lobbying for
extra help, and in January of
this year a legal information
counsellor was added to the
staff, who can appear in court
for adjournments and other pro-

cedures and handle many para-
legal duties.

The Legal Services Society of
B.C. is the body which disburses
funds to legal centres through-
out the province. It receives
money from the province, the

- Law Foundation and other

sources and decides on its

distribution,
In an effort to finda solution

to the problem, the local legal

centre board, consisting of rep- . &

resentatives from Kitselas, Ker-
modei, Kitsumkalum,' Nisga’a,

arranged meetings with the
deputy minister who oversees
the funding for the Legal Ser-
vices Society.”

“The Legal Services Society
has total responsibility,’’ he con-
tinued, “for the control of
funds.’’

‘‘We are now writing to Legal
Services to meet with their ex-
ecutive council and hope to
resolve our problems as soon as
possible.’’
