The CanadianLawSite.com provides an overview of major categories of law which is intended to be informative. It is not intended as legal advice, as we point out in our Disclaimer. For specific legal advice you should consult with your lawyer.

We strongly believe that a layman should not act as his own lawyer. The law is complex and a person representing himself can do himself great harm. We do feel however, that the more knowledge a person has about the law the better for him and his lawyer.

We feel there is truth to the Latin maxim:
 


"The laws aid the vigilant, not the   negligent."
