Canada has led the way in public legal education. Plenet is pleased to share with you an absorbing podcast about how PLE evolved in Canada over its 35 year history. A range of topics are covered including its radical origins and empowering possibilities.

The podcast is a recording of interviews between Richard Eppick (Fulbright Fellow) and two leading practitioners in the field: Carol McEown, who worked at the Legal Services Society of British Columbia, and Lois Gander QC, Founding Director of the Legal Resource Centre and Professor at the Faculty of Extension, University of Alberta.
