Criminal Law Division:
ANSJI Criminal Division serves clients who are African Nova Scotian or of African descent living in Nova Scotia in criminal matters free of charge.
Our lawyers have appeared at all levels of court in Nova Scotia and have been effective in using a critical race lens to advocate for clients in a system that has historically marginalized and mistreated Black folks.
If a person is facing criminal charges ANSJI Legal may:
• Provide representation in appropriate circumstances
• Assist with applications to Nova Scotia Legal Aid
• Consult with your lawyer on race-based issues that may be present in your file
• Assist in finding supports and services to address the underlying issues that led to involvement with the criminal justice system
NOTICE:
ANSJI has limited capacity with respect to service delivery for individual client representation on legal matters.
As a result, ANSJI is currently not taking any Adult Criminal Cases at this time.
"Desiree did an amazing job representing me. I really appreciate not having to go through it alone. I am very grateful for Desiree's help resolving my summary offence ticket. She also worked with another community organization to assist me and provide me with the help I needed. I will work with her always whenever I need legal help. I know that Desiree and the African Nova Scotian Justice Institute wish me a good future and I thank them for that. I wish them continued success and prosperity. I am very happy with the end result of my case."
