These three entities use the IOLTA funds to make grants to local
civil legal services programs that
employ staff attorneys, paralegals, volunteer
lawyers, law students, and community advocates to represent clients in family, housing, consumer, employment, education, disability, and similar legal matters.
This translates to $ 998 (17 - 18 $ 938) for
lawyers practising with the Nova Scotia Legal Aid Commission and Dalhousie Legal Aid Service, and $ 350 (17 - 18 $ 350) for
lawyers employed in the
civil service of the Province of Nova Scotia [1].
After completion of my studies in law and a legal clerkship in 2009, I was
employed as a
lawyer for general
civil and tax law in a business law firm in Frankfurt / Main.
