Welcome to Basics of Law for Beginners

Access to Justice was created to help you navigate some of the most common legal challenges in New Brunswick, especially if you are new to the province or unfamiliar with how the legal system works. Many people, particularly newcomers, face legal situations without knowing where to turn, what their rights are, or how to find the right support. This website is here to guide you through those moments by offering clear explanations and connecting you to trusted resources. While still in its early stages, the hope is that this platform can grow into a broader legal aid resource, one that makes justice more accessible for everyone.
