For the Public
The Hastings & Prince Edward Law Association (H&PELA) is the local association for lawyers. It is one of 48 in Ontario, dedicated to ensuring that small-town lawyers have a voice at the provincial level. It is a volunteer association with no set hours. Each lawyer pays a fee to be a member. The fee entitles the lawyer to access the Law Library and all other Association resources.
If you have any questions about the local legal community, H&PELA is available to help you find the answer.
